PRIVATE GOLF JOURNEYS · EST. 2008
Private golf journeys to the courses that make China worth the flight — mountain fairways in Yunnan, ocean holes in Hainan, and clubhouses that rarely open their doors to visitors.
Eighteen years · 2,400+ guests from 32 countries · English, Korean, Japanese & Mandarin spoken
GOLF AT ALTITUDE · YUNNAN
Fairways above
the clouds.
Kunming's highland courses sit at 1,900 metres — the ball flies farther, the air smells of pine, and the loudest sound on the course is your own drive.

THE WINTER LINKS · HAINAN
Ocean golf
in January.
Volcanic fairways and 22°C winters, three hours from Seoul and Tokyo. Our most-requested escape for the weeks when the home course freezes over.

WHO WE ARE
ChinaGolfTrip is a small team of golfers, drivers and planners based in Shanghai. Since 2008 we have taken guests from Seoul, Tokyo, London and Los Angeles to courses they had read about but never expected to play — and made the distance between the airport and the first tee feel effortless.
No coaches. No fixed departures. No strangers in your group. Just the people you brought with you, and a country that has been waiting for you to slow down.
WHAT WE TAKE CARE OF
All five are part of every journey we plan. No add-on menus, no surprise line items.
No fixed departures. We build the week around your handicap, your pace, and the people travelling with you.
→One English-speaking driver for the whole journey. Your clubs stay in the car overnight, and your schedule stays yours.
→We meet you at the gate, walk through the arrival paperwork with you, and have cold towels and water waiting in the car.
→Five-star city hotels, clubhouse suites and restored courtyard houses — each within twenty minutes of the first tee.
→Sixty-plus courses, including members' clubs that never take public bookings. Peak-season slots held months in advance.
→SIGNATURE JOURNEYS
Kunming's highland courses, the old town of Dali, and a sunrise round beneath Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Altitude golf, with the quiet of a monastery.
From $4,900 per person
Volcanic fairways, coconut palms and ocean holes that play like Scotland with better weather. Our most-requested escape from Seoul and Tokyo.
From $3,400 per person
Shanghai's championship courses, a round beside West Lake, and two nights in a restored courtyard house in Suzhou.
From $4,200 per person
"On the fourth morning I stopped taking photographs. I just wanted to stand there and look at it — a fairway cut into the mountain, mist still sitting in the valley, nobody else on the course."
MARCUS H. · HAMBURG · YUNNAN, OCTOBER 2025
A SAMPLE WEEK
Swap days, add rounds, bring the in-laws. Nothing here is fixed — that's the point.
DAYS 1–2 · SHANGHAI
A driver meets you at the gate, the hotel has you checked in before the bags arrive, and your clubs are already waiting at the club. A warm-up round at Sheshan in the late afternoon.
DAYS 3–4 · HANGZHOU
West Lake at sunrise, a round under the tea terraces at Fuchun Mountain, and dinner in a courtyard the guidebooks haven't found yet.
DAYS 5–7 · SUZHOU
Morning rounds, an afternoon boat through the canals, and a farewell dinner your group will still be talking about next season.
THE COURSES
Shanghai · Par 72 · 7,025 yd
Home of the HSBC Champions. Trees, water, and a back nine that has humbled better players than you.
Kunming · Par 72 · 7,204 yd
Two courses above Dianchi Lake, by Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones Jr. Bring a sweater and a straight driver.
Hainan · Par 73 · 7,435 yd
Black volcanic rock, jungle and ocean wind. Ten courses on one property — the largest golf facility on earth.
Hangzhou · Par 72 · 7,110 yd
A course painted into the landscape of the Fuchun River scroll. Tea terraces on one side, water on the other.
WHERE YOU SLEEP
We book the places we would stay ourselves — city hotels with proper breakfasts, clubhouse suites you can walk to the first tee from, and courtyard houses that make the evenings worth planning for.
NO ADD-ON MENU
Other operators quote a base price and sell you the rest at the counter. We quote the whole journey once — and it doesn't move.
HOW IT WORKS
Most journeys are confirmed in under a week.
Dates, cities, handicaps, how far you will drive in a day — and whether anyone would rather spend a morning at a spa than on a range.
A day-by-day plan with course options, hotels, driving times and a fixed price. Push back as much as you like — the second draft is usually the good one.
Your driver is at the gate with your name on a card. From there the only decisions left are which club to hit and where to eat afterwards.
GUEST STORIES
5.0
"The driver knew the gate guy at every club. We never queued, never carried a bag, never opened a map. I have never had a golf trip this easy."

"My wife doesn't play. By day three she had a calligraphy teacher and a favourite noodle shop. We're going back with her sister."
James & Priya W.

"Quoted price, final price. Same number. In 2026, that alone deserves five stars."

GOOD QUESTIONS
Short answer: yes, and almost nobody outside Asia knows. The courses are spectacular, the clubhouses are new, the caddies are excellent, and you will not queue for a tee time anywhere.
Most journeys land between $3,400 and $5,200 per person, all-in: golf, hotels, car, driver, breakfasts and a planner on call. We quote one number and it doesn't move.
Most nationalities now travel on the 240-hour visa-free transit policy or a simple e-visa. We send you the exact paperwork for your passport and check it before you fly.
None at all. Your driver speaks English, your planner is one message away in your language, and at every course we hand you a playing card with yardages, local rules and phrases your caddie will actually understand.
