Located close to the holiday resort town of Anning, Kunming Hot Spring plays as the typical high altitude course would, with changing elevations over rolling hills surrounded by wooded areas. Don’t be expecting the widest of fairways of this course which plays to 7,330 yards off the back tees, and beware the more than one hundred bunkers both large and small that will test your sand play. The first half of the course plays easier, its relatively wider and more level fairways offers up more scoring opportunities before the turnaround and the contrast of the challenging back nine where precision drives onto tighter and more undulating fairways are called for, blind holes come into play, and approaches are into more testing greens. Kunming Hot Spring is enjoyable golf for the thinking man.
Lakeview Golf Club benefits from the spectacular views of Xishan Mountain and the Dianchi Lake. Its peculiar hole design provides a great experience for all level of golfers. It provides world-class amenities ranging from natural hot springs and fine dining facilities for golfers. It is also the only night lit golf course in Kunming allowing those with a busy lifestyle to enjoy a round after dark.

Special emphasis was put on incorporating much of the original terrain into the rolling hills of Meadow Lake’s golf course, with expansive views of the landscape as far as the eye can see. Inspired by the classic links style of design, the melding of wild nature and carefully considered nurture has the golfer either taking his next shot off the beautiful bent grass fairways or attempting a more than challenging hack out of the native long grass. Winding undulated fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and graduated greens with testing breaks are the hallmarks at Meadow Lake, a course that challenges and entertains golfers of every level for an unforgettable golf experience.
The Meadow Links has a feel of traditional US Open courses on the east coast of the United States. The layout has a geometric feel across its bunkers and fairways, featuring “Church Pew” bunkers and some fairly flat greens. The grass-faced bunkers and the native shrubbery lend the course an open meadow like feel, with the occasional clusters of trees.

You can’t say you’ve golfed in Kunming unless you’ve played both courses at Spring City. The Mountain course, a Jack Nicklaus design, is a good warm up before the more exacting Robert Trent Jones Jnr designed Lake Course. The longer of the two, the main features of the Mountain course are elevated tee boxes and greens, and generous fairways that roll out to bonus distances. Do watch out for a liberal sprinkling of bunkers and grassy hollows that will catch any lapse in concentration. Well contoured Bentgrass-covered greens will test your short game to the fullest. But otherwise, the five sets of tees will ensure anyone of any level will enjoy playing the Mountain course. For what is seen as a resort course, the Lake is a tough one with tee shots that will test a golfer’s nerve nearly every hole. Narrow fairways, crisscrossing trenches, green terraces, breathtaking lake views and a 150-yard elevation drop between Hole 1 on the hill and Hole 9 by the lake’s side will have anyone marveling at the panorama and test of skill. Factor in the strong winds which blow from time to time, and the golfer definitely has his hands full. US Golf Digest magazine ranked Spring City Golf Resort The Number One Course of China.

Masters Resort has grass-faced bunkers, more colourful landscaping, and greens with greater undulation. Earmarked as the club’s tournament course, standout holes include the par 3 7th which features a green set into a natural low, the uphill par 5 10th, which plays toward a stone pinnacle backdrop, and the par 5 18th, which offers long views to the valley floor below.
Each of Stone Forest’s three courses feature a 270-million year old Stone Forest as a backdrop, and great care was taken to preserve these dramatic rock formations; holes were gently nestled among the rugged outcroppings. With the stone as the show in this otherworldly setting, there are less bunkers and water elements to catch the golfer out at Stone Forest’s three courses, although one can expect more than the unexpected wild ricochet from wayward shots off the rocks. Leader’s Peak, the longest of the courses at 7,528 yards, has a unique par 3 in the 12th hole featuring an island green surrounded not by water, but the native stone formations. Yufeng Ridge is the most elevated with views of all three golf courses and the Yunnan countryside. Its feature hole is the eighth, a par 4 that plays into a wall of stone and vegetation. The more conventional and tournament level Masters Resort has grass-faced bunkers, more colourful landscaping, and greens with greater undulation. Standout holes include the uphill par 5, 10th, which plays toward a stone pinnacle backdrop, and the par 5, 18th, which offers spectacular long views to the valley floor below.
The Stone Quarry is a tribute design to Pete Dye, a mentor to the Schmidt-Curley team. Take a wild ride on this very distinct quarry and railroad themed course that features railroad-tie faced bunkers, steep rock walls and timbers.

This Robert Trent Jones Jr design garnered four awards from Golf Digest magazine back in 2005. Described as a mountain course, numerous elevation changes will see both drives that are longer as much as approaches that come up short. Survey the terrain before teeing off so as not be caught off guard by the deviously canted fairways that could see a well struck drive rolling into the rough or any one of the 63 bunkers, some of which are cavernous. The course meanders through two separate and distinct valleys lush with the native vegetation; wild flowers, pine woods, and fruit trees circumvent the 7,217 yard course along with four man-made lakes. Through the round, the golfer might very well be picking ripe fruit between swings and catching glimpses of hares and squirrels in the woods, or stepping around the clusters of wild ducks and geese near the greens. Generous in size, the fast greens are more than a challenge with numerous subtle breaks; the good news is that the front nine features a milder topography, allowing the golfer to warm up before the much more undulating terrain of the back nine that requires strategic thought for safe navigation to the green
Another Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed course. Reclining upon the mountain and situated beside the lake, the traditional golf design with the front 9-holes being relatively less difficult than the back 9, gives golfers of all level a challenging and yet enjoyable golfing experience.

The latest addition to the plethora of golf courses in Kunming is Yunling’s 27 hole layout, a mix of open and wooded holes that include a dramatic elevation change of nearly 600 feet and prominent rock outcrops; all in all a visually dramatic and exciting golf course featuring the natural diversity of Yunling’s mountainous surroundings. The first nine offers panoramic views of Yangzonghai Lake, while the wooded second, and hilly but open third nines are sited at the highest points for breathtaking 360-degree views of the region. On the highest holes where wind is expected, fairways are wide and greens receptive, but still of various sizes, elevation and shapes so as to be unique. Confident drivers will be tempted on the third hole, a driveable short par 4 that starts off from an elevated tee down to a green surrounded by bunkers and steep drop offs.
这是全球高尔夫爱好者慕名朝圣的球场。面积达350英亩(2,125 亩)，完整保留着万年火山熔岩石的原始地质，在返朴归真的自然中，穿行于茂密幽静的古林老树，享受不断变化的挑战。这个世界级比赛场地的设计独特，总长度逾7808码，让观众以最广阔的视角来观看比赛。尤其在最后几洞，观众能从多个角度见证胜利的时刻，这样的球场才不失为真正的世界顶级比赛场地。
具有澳洲著名的带状沙地球场之鲜明风格，总长度逾7,325码。白沙闪耀的大沙坑是这一球场的一大特点，在绿茵绵延的开阔平原上，林立着澳洲色彩的桉树，点缀于距离适中的果岭与发球台之间，让人感受这份沁人心脾的绿意。
延续了十九世纪高尔夫球场的经典风格，总长度逾7,363码。依循山形而设计的球道，保持最自然的地形地貌，在青葱茂密的幽谷丛林间，四处可见堤、壶状坑、垄及长型沙坑等天然障碍，蜿蜒的石墙独树一帜。
短三杆球场，击球一杆上果岭，然后就是果岭推杆，球道周围都是被火山岩和大片沙坑包围。这个球场和周围自然景观融合的天衣无缝。
独有的天然矿沙坑与万年熔岩石不规则地布满球场。一片广角平原，两旁稀疏的树木，尽显荒原气质，让视野更辽阔。平原上的沙与熔岩完美融合，不愧为举世无双的球场奇观，是挑战性极强的国际赛事球场。
参照美国早期的传统球场，采用公园式布局，在开阔草地上点缀着郁郁的树丛，球道和障碍成独特的几何造型。“教堂长椅”式的沙坑、茂密草坪覆盖的沙坑和天然草为球场平添了草原的独特感觉。果岭面积比较大，从而增加了推杆的难度。
这块球场与北戴先生的设计相关的所有独特风格特点。铁轨枕木、突兀的山包、雪丘形障碍、大片的荒地沙坑、魔鬼般的有时面积颇小的果岭以及火车车厢式桥梁，所有这一切组合在一起，创造出了非常独特的景观特征。这些景观融汇于曲折盘旋的球场当中，加上古老火山岩式的原始地貌，以及陡峭的石墙、茂密的树丛，给整个球场引人注目的景致增色不少。球场的原始景观来自过去的煤矿车、铁轨的残痕以及被遗弃的采矿设备等。球场的风格非常直爽、运动感强，需要冒进而大力的击球。在当今风起云涌的“码数超长”的球场行列中，它是一个和蔼而不乏乐趣的另类选择。
这18个3杆洞组成的球场集合了独特而清晰的风格特点，每个果岭设有两个洞杯。这样的果岭设计是为了提供两种选择：一个更简单、位置更容易估计，另一个则要困难得多。植物园式的园林风格给人一种很享受的布满各色树木和鲜花的氛围环境，与海口的蓝天和清新空气相得益彰。所有水平级别的球手都可以在这座球场找到适合他们的心情和技术的乐趣。家庭成员、初学者以及职业球手，都能够在此打球或练习，度过愉快美好的一天。
以茂密的棕榈树丛为骨干的绿化区，为这块易于上手的球场定下了美丽景观型球场的基调，设计风格颇具现代性。宽大的球道中以沙坑作为间隔停顿，果岭区域被山包环绕，中间的推杆面造型遵循现代信条。大量的开花灌木和地被植物组成的景观区鲜艳而生动，在整个球场中营造出支配性的印象。而棕榈树群则有效地遮挡了阳光，给人以舒适放松。
将人们带入“沙的世界”，这块球场以高大的沙丘和海南岛广阔的海滩上所能找到的当地植被为景观，呈现出富有特色的环境条件。不过，它并不是一块沙滩球场，而是以波浪起伏的造型和度假区中最大的果岭为特色。这些狂野的果岭造型，可能会造成一些令人恐怖的长距离推杆，但是，它又并不是一座能够简单以距离征服的球场。球手在果岭上短距离推杆的精确性同样重要。作为一个大约仅有6600码、标准杆为70的球场，这里发球台和果岭间的密切连接非常有利于人们在其中的行走，也大大降低了打球所需的时间。
