HAIKOU · HAINAN · NOV–MAR AT 24°C
Haikou is the working side of Hainan — fewer beach clubs, far more golf. Ten championship layouts sit on one property carved through ancient lava fields, the winter weather is dry and 24 degrees, and the island’s visa-free entry makes it the easiest golf arrival in China.
THE GOLF IN HAIKOU
Everything in Haikou golf orbits Mission Hills: a single resort holding ten 18-hole courses — from the championship-brutal Blackstone to resort-friendly layouts you can walk off a flight and play. Every card below includes how a visitor actually gets on the tee.
HAIKOU · PAR 73 · 7,435 YD · VOLCANIC
The flagship of the world’s largest golf complex — black lava rock, jungle corridors and greens that run like pool tables. Long, firm and honest; bring wind judgement as well as distance.

HAIKOU · 18 HOLES × 10 · ONE PROPERTY
Nine more routings by Schmidt-Curley and a roster of signature architects — pick by mood: resort-easy, caddie-training wide, or championship water carries. Our job is matching the set to your handicap without a wasted round.

HAIKOU · 9TH GREEN BY 11AM · CRAB BY NOON
A custom pattern rather than a course: late-morning rounds, afternoon naps, and evenings in the arcade streets of old Haikou eating Wenchang chicken and fresh crab. Works beautifully for groups playing every other day.
ALL WINTER
CGT SIGNATURE PATTERNHaikou quietly out-golfs its famous southern sister. Sanya has the beaches; Haikou has the tees — the island’s serious golf, its best value, and winters that never interrupt a schedule. Our Haikou weeks average five rounds in seven nights, usually without a single lost hour.
For the non-golfers — Non-golfers split happily: volcanic-park hikes, the old-town arcades, hot-spring afternoons and a fisherman’s seafood market at dusk. Nobody has ever complained about being left behind in Haikou.
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.
Stay-and-play at the centre of the ten-course complex; five minutes from every tee.
Waterfront hotels with rooftop bars and the old town at the doorstep — our pick for food-first groups.
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
Direct flights land at Meilan from across East and Southeast Asia, twenty minutes from Mission Hills. Inside the island, high-speed rail runs Haikou to Sanya in about two hours — many guests golf Haikou for four days, then finish beach-side in Sanya. Hainan’s separate visa-free entry applies to dozens of nationalities; we send the exact paperwork for your passport.
