Keep a Lijiang round as its own stage of a Yunnan itinerary. If you are also playing in Kunming or Dali, allow time for the journey between destinations. Include your Lijiang accommodation and any timing preferences when sending the golf enquiry so the transfer and tee time can be planned together.

Best time to play golf in Lijiang

Jade Dragon’s course sits above 3,000 metres, where conditions can be colder than in Lijiang town. Bring warm layers, rainwear and sun protection. May–October is the wetter season, especially July and August; drier winter days can still be cold. Use a mountain-area forecast for your round.

Read the Yunnan golf weather guide and our unplayable-weather policy.

Getting to Lijiang golf courses

Arrange an outbound and return transfer from your Lijiang accommodation. Transport is available at an additional cost; any applicable route or scenic-area access arrangements can be addressed in the booking quote. If organising your own driver, use the golf-club name and address from the course profile, as the golf destination is distinct from a general sightseeing visit to the mountain.

Golf club rental in Lijiang

Club rental is available at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Add club hire to your enquiry if you are travelling without clubs. A driving range is available at the course.
