Best golf courses in Guangdong, China 2026/2027

Guangdong should be at the top of your list if you want to play golf in a place that has luxury, world-class amenities, and sunny weather all year round. It is in southern China and is a great place for golfers who like both challenging courses and beautiful scenery. The greens are only a few minutes from the city, which has modern amenities and a lively nightlife.

Some of the best golf clubs in Asia are in Guangdong. Mission Hills, which is between Shenzhen and Dongguan, is without a doubt the best thing in the area. Mission Hills is the world’s largest golf course, with 12 championship courses designed by golf legends like Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman, and Ernie Els. Any golf fan should go see it. Some are hidden away in wooded hills, while others wind through valleys with steep changes in height. Many of them are part of high-end resorts that offer spas, fine dining, and excellent service.

But that’s not all there is to golfing in Guangdong. Guangdong is especially appealing because it is easy to get to and comfortable. Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai all have big airports, and it’s easy to get to from Hong Kong and Macau. This makes it very easy for both domestic and international golfers to get there. There are a lot of courses that are only a short drive from the busy city center. This means you can spend your mornings on the runway and your evenings exploring the city’s culture, food, or lively, modern nightlife.

You can play golf almost any month of the year in Guangdong because it has a subtropical climate. Even though summers can be hotter, the breeze from the nearby shores and the lush, green scenery make it feel nice.
