XIAMEN · FUJIAN · ISLAND CITY
Xiamen is the relaxed south: a walkable island city of bougainvillea, colonial lanes and sea air, with parkland golf on the water’s edge, a UNESCO car-free island twenty minutes by ferry, and the Tieguanyin tea mountains an hour inland. Warm, gentle and unhurried.
THE GOLF IN XIAMEN
The reference round is Orient Golf — one of the respected early classics of the Chinese course-building era: parkland with sea air, mature greens and a pace the island enforces. Every card below includes how a visitor actually gets on the tee.
XIAMEN · PARKLAND · EARLY CLASSIC · SEA AIR
A mature, respected layout from the first wave of Chinese golf — tree-lined corridors, honest greens and the island’s unhurried tempo. A round here ends early enough for Gulangyu at golden hour, which is the correct order of things.
BEST MAR–MAY & OCT–DEC
VISITOR ACCESS · BOOKED VIA CGTXiamen is the trip for travellers who want China golf at a walking pace: rounds that end by three, tea at four, lantern-lit lanes by eight. In spring and late autumn it is also the smart crowd-avoidance play while Hainan does its winter business.
For the non-golfers — Gulangyu’s colonial lanes and piano museum, the Zhongshan Road night market, an Anxi tea-mountain day, and the Hakka tulou roundhouses three hours inland for a two-night add-on.
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 Gaoqi airport, direct from across East & SE Asia, meet your English-speaking driver, and — if the flight lands before mid-afternoon — take Orient Golf & Country Club as the opening round. Evening is kept deliberately loose: hot pot, an early night, or whatever the jet lag votes for.
A full day built around the course your planner ranks first for your handicaps. Non-golfers get the day their way while the golf runs — we drive them out and pick them up.
A morning without an alarm, then the part of Xiamen people actually remember — Gulangyu’s colonial lanes and piano museum, the Zhongshan Road night market, an Anxi tea-mountain day, and the Hakka tulou roundhouses three hours inland for a two-night add-on. Transfer to Gaoqi airport, direct from across East & SE Asia 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 seafront strip between the airport and the old town: ferry terminal and course both within twenty minutes.
Spend one night on the car-free UNESCO island — the seven-o’clock-morning version is the whole point.
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 & October – December — 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
Gaoqi airport receives direct flights across East and Southeast Asia and sits ten minutes from the city. The high-speed line runs up the coast toward Wenzhou and Hangzhou — Xiamen–Hangzhou is a beautiful four-hour ride for a two-city week.
