Everything people ask
before they ask us.

Yes. Clubs like Tomson Shanghai Pudong don't take public bookings; they answer relationships, not websites. After eighteen years of hosting their members' guests, those doors are open to our clients — subject to each club's conduct rules, which we brief you on in advance.

Jiangnan and Yunnan: March–May and September–November. Hainan: November–March, 22°C and dry. Kunming plays year-round. We design around your dates, not the reverse.

They should. Tea houses and tailors in Shanghai, gardens and silk workshops in Suzhou, cooking classes and calligraphy in Hangzhou — non-golfers get a real programme, not a waiting room. Many of our best reviews are from people who didn't swing a club.

Most ChinaGolfTrip journeys land between $3,400 and $5,200 per person, all-in: green fees, hotels, private car and driver, breakfasts and a planner on call. We quote one fixed number and it does not move.

Included: all tee times and green fees, caddie fees, hotels, breakfasts, private car and English-speaking driver, airport transfers, domestic flights inside the itinerary, fuel, tolls and tips, and 24/7 concierge. Not included: international flights to China, lunches and dinners (unless arranged), personal shopping, and travel insurance.

For peak season — April–May and October in Jiangnan and Yunnan, November–February in Hainan — we recommend 2–3 months. Member-club tee times are held 2–6 months ahead. Off-season journeys can come together in under two weeks.

A deposit confirms tee times and hotels; the balance is due before arrival. We accept international bank transfer and major cards. Every price is fixed in advance — quoted once, never renegotiated on the ground.

Most nationalities now travel on the 240-hour visa-free transit policy or a simple e-visa. We send the exact paperwork for your passport and check it before you fly.

Bring them if you love them — checked clubs are routine on flights to China and your bags travel in the car the whole trip. If you'd rather not, we rent premium sets (Titleist, Callaway) per round or per trip.

No. Your driver speaks English (or Korean/Japanese on request), 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.

For visitors, China is among the safest countries to travel in, and your driver and planner remove the friction points — payments (Alipay/WeChat setup), connectivity (we arrange eSIMs), and every checkpoint conversation.

Caddies are mandatory at essentially every course in China, and they are one of the trip's pleasures. They read greens, carry, manage local rules and — with our phrase card — understand your "go for it" from your "lay up."

At the courses we book, morning rounds typically finish in four hours or less. We hold weekday and early-morning slots precisely because the fairways empty out — a luxury you will notice on the first hole.
