BEIJING · MUNICIPALITY · SINCE 2008
Beijing’s course list tightened after 2017; what remains is private, immaculate and unreachable without a phone call we happen to have. Nicklaus-designed members’ clubs, golden October golf, and the greatest culture itinerary in the world on the off-days.
THE GOLF IN BEIJING
The honest pitch: Beijing is not a golf destination like Hainan — it is a culture capital with private golf hidden inside it. Every card below includes how a visitor actually gets on the tee.
BEIJING · JACK NICKLAUS · STRICTLY MEMBERS
The Nicklaus signature design behind the capital’s most private gates — the round that makes the Beijing week work, and the one that does not sell tee times. Booked on your behalf, confirmed in writing, months or days ahead as needed.
BEST APR–JUN & SEP–OCT
MEMBERS’ CLUB · CGT ACCESS ONLY
BEIJING · BEIJING & SEASIDE ADD-ONS
The working pattern: two Beijing rounds plus the coast. Qingdao’s seaside golf or Beijing’s own suburban layouts slot in by season — the autumn leaves version of this week is the prettiest golf in the north.
BEST SEP–OCT
CGT SIGNATURE PATTERNThis is the build for groups where golf is one vote among five: a couple of members’ club rounds nobody else could book, the Forbidden City, a day on the Wall without crowds because we timed it, and duck that closes the argument. Since 2008 it has been our most-rebooked mixed itinerary.
For the non-golfers — The Forbidden City, a dawn Great Wall walk, the hutongs by bike, the Summer Palace, the 798 art district — plus, in October, mountain foliage that makes the fairways cinematic.
A WEEK, ROUGHLY
A three-day spine your plan grows from — arrivals, tee times and the day your non-golfers remember. Every private itinerary is built around your flight times, not a template.
Touch down at PEK & PKX, meet your English-speaking driver, and — if the flight lands before mid-afternoon — take Reignwood Pine Valley as the opening round. Evening is kept deliberately loose: hot pot, an early night, or whatever the jet lag votes for.
A full day at The Northern Circuit — and if yesterday's round went quickly, the front nine again after lunch. Non-golfers get the day their way while the golf runs.
A morning without an alarm, then the part of Beijing people actually remember — The Forbidden City, a dawn Great Wall walk, the hutongs by bike, the Summer Palace, the 798 art district — plus, in October, mountain foliage that makes the fairways cinematic. Transfer to PEK & PKX timed to your flight.
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 grand heritage hotels inside the hutong ring — walk to the palace moat, drive forty minutes to the tees.
For the Wall day: sleep where the day-trippers have already gone home.
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.
ASKED BEFORE YOU ASK
And the honest answers. Everything else — visas, weather, your handicap versus that back nine — is one message away.
April – June & September – October (golden autumn) — that is the honest window. The greens keep their condition because these are resort-standard courses, and your planner will push you inside the sweet season rather than the cheapest one.
Some of China's best courses are members-first. We hold long-term club relationships precisely so visitors don't have to — tee times are arranged as part of the trip, with caddies, carts and the driver between hotel and clubhouse.
One message with your dates and handicaps. Within a business day you get a day-by-day plan — courses matched to your game, hotels near the tees, drivers, transfers — and a single fixed all-in price. No deposit to see the draft.
DOORS, TRAINS & TEE SHEETS
Two international airports, every alliance, 240-hour visa-free transit for most western passports. Inside the week, our drivers run everything — Beijing traffic is a scheduling problem, and scheduling is what we do.
YOUR DRIVER SPEAKS ENGLISH · YOUR PLANNER IS ONE MESSAGE AWAY · EVERY DETAIL IS OURS
