would it be better to try to organise a trip oneself or is the hassle really not worth it? i'm trying to organise a company 4d3n trip to mission hills SZ.

one alternative is to get the booking done by agent. This is what I did sometime back. at HK, called agent to book. Other than that, F & E is quite ok

so for F&E, most of the clubs in china like kunming and mission hills entertain visitors? i can just call their office to book?

the best is to find agent, better lobang. google it and check pricing. Sorry, I lost my contact as my game there was like many moons ago

Yes, most clubs do.

a new course outside kunming call ' sky oasis', a long 2.5 hour ride ,but it was worth
the journey , nice cool sunny weather 20 deg c , nice scenery ,good food and a very nice
course .

the new kunming stone forest golf course , 1.5 hours ride from kunming. open 4th november
2010, we were the first foreigners there on 5th november.

sunshine golf coures in kunming (unfortunately the sun was not shining till later part off the day ,tee time 0800 hrs). 30 minutes ride from kunming . one tough , bloody challenging course from the black tees.

an other new course ' meadows lake' in kunming,1 year old.1.5 hours ride
from kunming. the club house is not even ready and they use 40ft containers .the pix shows the hazard 'red stakes'. once go in can say bye bye. even if can find the ball, damn diffcult to hit out. me a bit fortunate only loss 2 balls.

It would be pity to go Yunnan without the hop to Lijiang and play Jade Dragon Snow course. But this time of year is cold in Jade Dragon, otherwise you will see snopw-capped mountains as backdrop to the course.

We played Spring City regularly until 2 or 3 years ago when we found Lijiang and some others, Spring city always good well-maintained courses (and putts that just won't drop), but China has plenty of more beautifully scenic courses like Jade Dragon in Lijiang for those who don't mind going a little further.

welcome to lijiang's jade dragon snow mountain. we had hailstones, rain,mist, strong wind and finally sunshine in one round of golf in the afternoon on this highest altitude golf course. the ball travels
far in this rarified air. driver goes 310 yards machiam pro .

enjoy.

going to Kumming in Jun. How much is the damage? Green Fee, Buggy, Tips etc..

Indeed breath taking sight......lijang jade dragon snow mountain
Die die must play 1 round there.

Spring City is 1700m above sea level. The course is manage by Keppel Land.

I had two games in Lake course and one at mountain course.

Very cooling ... breath taking scenery

and also "Breath Taking" especially Buggy on track.

Are you going alone ? I paid for my packet around 2K plus around 1K for other stuff (food, tips, drinks etc) for 4 games (5 days 4 night).

So around 3K for total damage but was using agent from singapore so not sure on individual golf course rate. sorry not much help there

Beautiful view...simply beautiful!

I Just got back from Kunming as well!

Played the Stone Forest A & B courses. Very challenging though green was nowhere as fast as Spring City where I played both courses as well.

Hope to go back soon and try LIjiang's Snow Jade Mountain too!

Beautiful Scenery! Great service!

90 Holes of golf on a 4D3N trip!

Yeah done that already as well as Melbourne, courses are not bad but service nowhere as good and mainly self drive. Cost is higher partly due to exchange rate and partly cos we wanted to play the more well known courses.

Just back from Kunming, Play at Dian Chi golf course. Fantastic course and weather.
