GUANGZHOU · GUANGDONG · CANTON
Guangzhou is the food capital of China and a quietly excellent golf town: hillside clubs in the city, the first course in modern Chinese golf forty minutes away, and the biggest flight hub in the south. Come for the rounds; stay for the dinner that follows.
THE GOLF IN GUANGZHOU
Two rounds define a Guangzhou week: a hillside city club above the lake — Canton’s old-money course culture, tree-lined and brisk — and the pilgrimage to Zhongshan Hot Spring, where Arnold Palmer’s 1984 design became the first modern course in China. Every card below includes how a visitor actually gets on the tee.
GUANGZHOU · HILLSIDE · IN-CITY LAKE CLUB
Climbs the hillside above the lake in the middle of the city — the old-money Cantonese club, mature and brisk, with the skyline over your shoulder and dim sum after the turn.

GUANGZHOU · 1984 · ARNOLD PALMER · CHINA’S FIRST
Where modern Chinese golf began, in 1984, on an Arnold Palmer routing an hour from the city. Play it as history — then the hot springs, as tradition demands. Every Chinese golfer’s pilgrimage; nobody is disappointed.

RESORT ACCESS · STAY & PLAYGuangzhou completes every southern itinerary: golf with history, the country’s defining food culture, and the hub that flies you onward. Groups typically finish a Guanlan week here, two rounds deep and two kilos heavier, entirely at peace with both.
For the non-golfers — Morning tea (dim sum breakfast as a civic institution), the Chen Clan Academy, Shamian Island, evening cruises on the Pearl River — and the dinner itinerary we build you course by course.
WHERE WE PUT YOU
Hotel and villa picks scored on one metric above all: minutes from the first tee, then breakfast, then the view. In that order.
The CBD towers: Canton Tower views, and the dinner streets of the old town a short drive away.
Colonial riverfront lanes — the slow-coffee morning base.
COURSE FILES
Each course has its own file: the honest description, who designed it, when it plays best, and how a visitor actually gets on the tee. Open one, or ask us to sequence them into a week.
DOORS, TRAINS & TEE SHEETS
Baiyun airport is the busiest in southern China — direct from everywhere, with 240-hour visa-free transit. Hong Kong and Shenzhen both sit inside a two-hour drive; the three-city week is our standard southern build.
