Dali Golf Courses & Tee Time Booking
Plan a round at Canghai Golf Club, the Dali course in our Yunnan collection. This Nick Faldo design sits between the Cangshan foothills and Erhai, making it an option for golfers staying in Dali who want to add golf to their visit.
Why play golf in Dali?
Dali gives a Yunnan golf trip a different base from Kunming. Canghai combines a mountain setting with an 18-hole, par-71 layout, and can be part of a stay near the old town. Colin has played the course and coordinates enquiries through local contacts, helping international visitors arrange the details before travelling to the club.

Best time to play golf in Dali
November–April is generally drier around Dali; May–October brings most of the rain. Allow for wind, particularly during the February–April wind season, and cool starts at Canghai’s foothill setting. Pack a wind-resistant layer and rainwear, and use the local temperature and wind forecast when choosing your tee time.

Getting to Dali golf courses
Plan the course transfer from your Dali hotel or arrival station. Canghai is in the Cangshan foothills; the exact pickup location affects the journey. A private return transfer can be arranged at an additional cost. For your own driver, use the Chinese golf-club name and address on the course page. Dali should be treated as a separate stay rather than a day trip from Kunming.
Golf club rental in Dali
If you prefer to travel without clubs, include a club-hire request in your Dali enquiry. A modern rental set typically costs around RMB 300 per round at Yunnan courses offering hire; the available set and price for Canghai will be included in your quote. A driving range is available at the course.
