PERCHED high above Kunming on the serene shores of Yangzonghai Lake, Spring City Golf & Lake Resort has earned its reputation as one of Asia’s most extraordinary golf destinations.
With two championship layouts – the Mountain Course and the Lake Course, Spring City offers a rare combination of dramatic scenery, pristine conditioning, and unforgettable shot making. For golfers seeking a world class getaway, this is a bucket list venue, and with CGE Golf handling every detail, getting there has never been easier.
The Mountain Course: A Jack Nicklaus masterpiece
The Mountain Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is carved into rolling highland terrain with sweeping views across the lake and surrounding peaks. Its elevation changes create thrilling tee shots, strategic landing zones, and green complexes that reward precision. Fairways bend naturally through the landscape, giving every hole a sense of discovery. Morning rounds often unfold under crisp, cool air with clouds drifting below the tee boxes – an experience that feels almost surreal.
Nicklaus’s routing blends challenge with playability, making the Mountain Course ideal for golfers who appreciate thoughtful design and dramatic vistas. It is consistently ranked among the top courses in China and remains a favourite for players who want a true championship test.
The Lake Course: A Trent Jones Jr. lakeside gem
In contrast, the Lake Course by Robert Trent Jones Jr. embraces the water’s edge, offering a more open, fluid, and visually striking experience. Wide fairways invite confident swings, but the ever-present lake and cleverly positioned bunkers demand respect. The signature holes along the shoreline are breathtaking, especially in the late afternoon when the sun reflects off the water and the mountains glow in the distance.
The Lake Course is known for its smooth rhythm, generous landing areas, and beautifully contoured greens. It is the perfect complement to the Mountain Course – equally memorable, yet entirely its own personality.
