When tourists plan a trip to northern China, the itinerary usually fills up fast with the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. Finding time for a round of golf can feel like an afterthought, especially when you look at the premium green fees and packed tee sheets inside Beijing. That is why a lot of traveling golfers choose to play golf in Hebei. The province forms a massive ring around the capital, so getting there is just a matter of hiring a driver for a short trip outside the city limits.
You actually have a surprisingly deep roster of Hebei golf courses to choose from. If you are visiting during the summer, ask your hotel to book you a round up in Zhangjiakou. The mountain elevation cuts right through the summer humidity. The terrain up there is entirely rock and forest. The fairways are carved right into the hillsides, meaning you will face blind tee shots and elevation changes that will test your iron game. (Pack extra balls in your travel bag).
For travelers who prefer to knock out their sightseeing and sports in the same day, Chengde is the best bet. You can tee off at 8:00 AM at one of the golf courses in Hebei situated near the Imperial Summer Resort, finish your round, and walk straight into the historical park by the afternoon. The best part of leaving Beijing for these rounds is the price drop. The second you cross the provincial border, the green fees plummet. You get a quiet, uncrowded round, and the drive back gives you an excuse to pull over for cheap noodles at a rural village restaurant that the giant tour buses never visit.
