Day 1 Arrive Lijiang
Up into the foothills of the Himalaya.
Arrive into Lijiang and drive to your resort beneath Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, checked in at 2,400 metres with the glacier filling the horizon. A quiet dinner closes the day.
Tee off at 3,100 metres beneath a Himalayan glacier — finish nine days later beside the South China Sea.
Nine nights, four rounds, three thousand metres of descent — paced so the altitude never fights the golf.
Arrive into Lijiang and drive to your resort beneath Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, checked in at 2,400 metres with the glacier filling the horizon. A quiet dinner closes the day.
Explore the UNESCO old town in the quiet hours and a Naxi village at the foot of the snow mountain, ending with a private dinner. The day doubles as acclimatisation — tomorrow's course sits at 3,100 metres.
Play Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the world's longest course at 8,548 yards, where the thin air carries your ball ten percent farther and the glacier fills the sky above every shot.
Travel by rail or a short flight to Kunming, then on to Spring City on Yangzong Lake. Settle in, walk the lakeshore, hit the range — nothing else is asked of the day.
Play Robert Trent Jones Jr's Lake Course, a World Top 100 fixture tumbling toward the water, with no transfers to think about — you stay on the resort itself.
Spring City's other half: Jack Nicklaus' Mountain Course on the ridgeline above the lake. Keen golfers add a night and play both.
South of the Clouds in depth — the golf, the Tea Horse Road and Shangri-La beyond.
Discover Yunnan →Fly ninety minutes south to Hainan and settle into Mission Hills, Haikou, where the volcanic hot springs wait beside the resort and tomorrow's first tee is minutes from your door.
Play Blackstone — carved through a field of black lava, ranked in the World Top 100, and the stage where Tiger met Rory in The Match. The hot springs are waiting off the eighteenth.
A day kept empty, and kept that way. Volcano villages, the spa, or nothing at all beside the water.
Travel south to Shenzhou Peninsula for the closing round at The Dunes, Tom Weiskopf's links through real sand dunes to the water's edge — and stay the night beside the course, the beach at the end of the garden.
Breakfast by the sea, then a private transfer to your flight home — or onward: Beijing and Shanghai are a direct flight away.
The tropical coast in depth — the golf, the surf and Asia's most exclusive club.
Discover Hainan →Add a round, chase an invitation to Shanqin Bay, bring non-golfers — every journey is rebuilt around your party before anything is booked.
A glacier above the first round, the sea beside the last — no journey in golf descends this far.
Round 1 · Golf at 3,100 m
The most dramatic setting in golf. At 3,100 metres, Jade Dragon stretches to 8,548 yards — the world's longest championship course — yet the thin air carries your ball ten percent farther. Above the fairways, the 5,500-metre glacier fills the sky; we build in two nights of acclimatisation before you play.
Round 2 · World Top 100
The crown jewel of Chinese golf: two courses among the continent's finest, above a highland lake at 2,000 metres. You play Trent Jones Jr's Lake Course — a World Top 100 fixture — and stay on the property, so the day needs no transfers at all. Keen golfers add Nicklaus' Mountain Course above.
Round 3 · World Top 100
The headline course at the world's largest golf resort, carved straight through a field of black volcanic rock. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy met here in The Match; it holds a place in the World Top 100. Your hotel is inside the resort — first tee minutes away, hot springs at the door.
Round 4 · Oceanside links
A natural links through real sand dunes on a wild stretch of tropical coast — closer in spirit to Ireland than the South China Sea. Tom Weiskopf routed the holes to the water's edge and let the wind do the defending. The round most guests remember longest, and the perfect closing note.
All four rounds are confirmed before you fly — tee times, caddies and carts handled, clubs hired to spec if you'd rather travel light. Where it can genuinely be confirmed, an invitation round at Shanqin Bay can be added.
A few of the private moments woven between the rounds — each arranged for your party alone.
