When most people think of golf in China, destinations like Kunming or Hainan come to mind. But tucked away in the heart of southern China, Hunan province is quietly carving out its own niche on the golfing map, offering a peaceful, picturesque and culturally rich experience, perfect for golfers looking for something different.
Unlike the hustle and bustle of Shanghai and Beijing, Hunan boasts the majestic beauty of vast mountains and forests, with architectural beauty from ancient villages with a strong Chinese influence or vibrant riverside cities. This diversity extends to the golf courses, many of which are designed to make the most of the stunning natural surroundings. Imagine teeing off with views of forested hills, traditional pagodas in the distance or calm waters reflecting the sky. Some courses are located in large resorts where you can relax after a round by soaking in natural hot springs, enjoying a traditional Hunanese meal or hiking through nearby cultural sites.
Another great reason to explore Hunan for golf? It’s not too crowded. You can play at your own pace, take in the scenery and enjoy the slow pace of the Chinese countryside. With pleasant weather all year round and a growing infrastructure, Hunan is quickly becoming an attractive destination for golfers in Asia.
