GUILIN · GUANGXI · KARST COUNTRY
Guilin’s karst river valley is the landscape on the twenty-yuan note. The golf plays directly through it — quiet resort courses between sheer green towers and rivers — and the off-days hold the Li River cruise, Yangshuo’s cycling country and cave dinners. The most photographed golf week in China.
THE GOLF IN GUILIN
Guilin golf is defined by what stands over the fairways rather than by the card: resort routings rolling between karst towers, lakes reflecting the peaks, and quiet tee sheets. Every card below includes how a visitor actually gets on the tee.
GUILIN · RESORT · 18 HOLES · KARST VIEWS
A full resort course rolling between the limestone towers and lakes of the karst country, with the resort’s rooms, hot springs and theme-park distractions on site — the easy base for a mixed group week.

RESORT ACCESS · STAY & PLAY
GUILIN · RIVERSIDE · SCENERY-FIRST GOLF
The quieter riverside routings south of the city, where the Li River valley closes over the back nine. Bring the camera, not the scorecard — and let us book the sunrise tee time.
BEST MAR–MAY & SEP–NOV
VISITOR ACCESS · BOOKED VIA CGTGuilin is the answer when the group photo matters as much as the scorecard. Every round here produces images that look retouched, the golf-to-scenery ratio is unmatched in China, and the non-golfers get the single most famous landscape on the planet as their consolation prize.
For the non-golfers — The Li River cruise to Yangshuo, bamboo rafting, cycling the river lanes, the rice terraces at Longji, and the light show on the water at night.
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 Liangjiang airport + HSR from Guangzhou/Shenzhen, meet your English-speaking driver, and — if the flight lands before mid-afternoon — take Guilin Merryland Resort Course 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 Karst Riverside 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 Guilin people actually remember — The Li River cruise to Yangshuo, bamboo rafting, cycling the river lanes, the rice terraces at Longji, and the light show on the water at night. Transfer to Liangjiang airport + HSR from Guangzhou/Shenzhen 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 stay-and-play base inside the karst country north of the city.
For the landscape half of the week: bamboo rafts, cycling lanes and the Impression Liu Sanjie show.
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.
March – May & September – November — 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
Liangjiang airport takes regional direct flights; the high-speed line runs from Guangzhou and Shenzhen in under three hours. Most groups pair Guilin with a Guangdong golf week — the contrast is the point.
