Jake Nicklaus Mountain Golf Course of Kunming Spring City Golf Lake Resort

'We wanted to design a course that complements the area's climate, enabling golfers to enjoy its splendour all year round. Spring City utilises the natural undulations of the terrain, thus maximising the golf strategy with the challenges of side-hill lies and elevated greens and tees. They will also enjoy a course framed by native pines and rock out- croppings highlighted by picturesque views of the mountains and Yang Zong Hai Lake.'

With Lake Yangzonghai creating a perfect backdrop, inspired play comes naturally.

Generous fairways allow you to let loose with your driver, while the mountain altitude adds extra distance to your drives.

A liberal sprinkling of sand bunkers and grassy hollows demand accurate approach shots and the large, well contoured, 'bent grass' greens make for challenging putting surfaces.

Yet this is a course that can be enjoyed by golfers of all levels. Five sets of tees have been designed for you to choose the distance and difficulty that best suits your quality of play.

There is no one better than the course architect himself, Jack Nicklaus, to help improve one's overall enjoyment of the course.

Included in this guide are Jack's playing tips and these can be found opposite each hole map.
