Local insight from Colin, a Yunnan-based golfer who has played this course. About the guide.
The course
OCT Yunhai Valley’s Mountain View Course sits on the north shore of Yangzong Lake in Yiliang, near Kunming. It is a distinct 18-hole, par-72 course, separate from the closed OCT Lake Course and from Spring City nearby.
The course opened in 1998 and reopened in 2023. Six holes stand out in two memorable runs: 6–8 on the front nine and 13–15 on the back nine.

Inside the round
Explore the paired three-hole sequences that shape this round. Distances are in yards from the course scorecard, ordered red, white, blue and black.
Hole 6 plays downhill and is normally downwind. At 262 yards from the white tee and 297 from blue, the green can be in reach from the tee for some players; the safer route is to leave a comfortable approach.
From the elevated tee, the seventh looks down to a green guarded by bunkers. Tee selection changes the one-shot challenge considerably, from 106 yards at red to 204 at black.
The eighth completes the front-nine trio with a fairway rising toward a tree-framed approach. From the white tee it measures 368 yards, with 378 from blue and 409 from black.
The thirteenth demands a carry across a ravine from the tee. Beyond that opening challenge, the fairway sweeps across the mountainside toward an exposed green and broad valley views. It measures 407 yards from white, 440 from blue and 471 from black.
After the ravine carry at thirteen, Hole 14 is a par 3 with a bunker guarding the green and mountain views beyond. It ranges from 99 yards at the red tee to 171 from black.
This run closes with a tree-lined par 5 and a bunker on the approach. It is a substantial 568 yards from white, 587 from blue and 632 from black.
Plan the journey
Allow about an hour by road from central Kunming to the resort on the north shore of Yangzong Lake; traffic and your starting point can change the journey. We can arrange a private return transfer at extra cost, or you can travel independently.
Bring golf shoes, a hat, sunscreen and a light layer. There is no driving range, so leave time for the short-game practice area and separate putting green. Carts are allowed on the fairways, with no single-rider surcharge. Club hire can be requested in advance.
The highland sun can be strong, even when it feels cool. May to October brings more showers, often brief but sometimes heavy; a light rain jacket is useful. Check the forecast and allow flexibility around your tee time.
For your driver
Use Qunyinghui Holiday Hotel as the navigation destination. The Mountain Course starter’s hut is at this location; show the Chinese hotel name to your driver.
Yangzong Lake sits at approximately 1,770 m above sea level; that is the lake elevation, not a measured elevation for every hole on this hillside course.
