Kunming Lakeview Golf Course

18 holes par 72 (7260 yards)
by Sir Nick Faldo

approx. 40 minutes from Kunming downtown

Lakeview Golf Club is one of China’s most celebrated golf courses, located near Kunming - famous for its year-round mild climate and breathtaking natural beauty. Designed by six-time Major Champion Sir Nick Faldo, this par-72 championship layout stretches across 7,260 yards of rolling hills, shimmering lakes, and pine-fringed fairways, offering both visual splendor and strategic challenge.

Voted repeatedly among “Asia’s Top 10 Golf Courses” and “Top 10 Golf Clubs in China,” Lakeview impresses with its pristine conditioning, panoramic mountain views, and intelligent routing that rewards precision and creativity. The course plays through gently undulating terrain with well-placed bunkers, long fairways, and striking water hazards that come into play on several memorable holes.

Among the highlights is the seamless integration of natural elevation changes and lush Yunnan landscapes, making every hole feel like a unique experience. Wide fairways invite bold tee shots, yet approach accuracy is essential due to fast, true greens and protected pin positions. The layout is enjoyable for mid-handicappers while still testing elite-level players, especially from the back tees.

Beyond the course, Lakeview Golf Club offers top-tier practice facilities, a welcoming clubhouse, and a growing members’ community with regular tournaments and events. Whether part of a Yunnan golf holiday or a standalone round, Lakeview delivers a world-class experience that blends golf with the region’s distinct cultural and natural appeal.

A must-play for those visiting Kunming, Lakeview Golf Club is a shining example of modern Chinese golf design done right - and a proud highlight in Sir Nick Faldo’s global design portfolio.
