Discover the Hawaii of China
Overview

Step into an extraordinary 9-day journey to one of the world’s most sought-after golfing destinations. Set on Hainan Island—the tropical paradise often called the “Hawaii of China”—Mission Hills is a name that echoes across the golfing world, yet many have yet to stand on its fairways and feel the scale, beauty, and ambition of this place firsthand. Here, more than 22 championship courses sweep across landscapes shaped by ancient volcanoes—black-rock ridges, steaming hot springs, emerald fairways bordered by lava fields, and horizons that unfold endlessly above the island. For those who seek to experience the game in stunning, unforgettable landscapes, it’s a setting that stirs something deep inside.

Your journey moves between its two crown jewels: the volcanic wonderland of Mission Hills Haikou, Asia’s largest and most visually striking golf complex, and the breathtaking Shenzhou Peninsula, where coastal holes glide toward golden sands and the ocean glows at sunrise. The rhythm of the trip is guided by the game itself—morning tee times, championship layouts, and that familiar sense of anticipation as you stand on the next tee—while still leaving space to savour hot-spring soaks, curated island dining, and the beauty of China’s southern coastline.

This isn’t a simple getaway. It’s a golfer’s passage through one of the most imaginative and unforgettable golf landscapes on Earth, a chance to fully immerse yourself in the courses you’ve heard about for years but never experienced quite like this. This journey lets you feel Mission Hills in full—its ambition, its artistry, and the thrill of playing courses that leave a lasting mark on every golfer who walks them.

Are golf carts included at the China courses, and where can they be driven?
Yes, golf carts are included at all China courses. However, carts must remain on designated paths. The 90-degree cart rule applies, meaning carts may cross the fairway only at a right angle when required.
Is a visa required to travel to China for short stays?
A visa is not currently required for most travellers entering China for stays of less than 15 days. However, Australian passport holders specifically enjoy a more generous exemption, allowing stays of up to 30 days without needing a visa.
Can carts be driven on the fairways in China?
Generally, no. Fairway access is restricted at China’s courses to protect course conditions. Carts must stay on paths unless special permission is granted.
Is special fairway access available in China for seniors or medical needs?
Golfers aged 70+ or those with a valid medical certificate may request limited fairway access. Approval is determined by each individual China course and is not guaranteed. Please bring relevant documentation to support your request.
When should I book to secure my spot?
Golf Journeys tours often sell out well in advance. Book early to avoid missing out on your preferred destination and travel dates.
What makes this tour different from other golf holidays?

Who are these tours designed for?
Whether you're traveling solo, with a partner, or with friends, our tours cater to passionate golfers (and non-golfing companions) who enjoy comfort, connection, and curated experiences.
What’s included in the tour package?
Expect world-class golf, premium hotels, curated dining, transfers, and local experiences—all organized so you can relax and enjoy every moment.
Do I need to be a low-handicap golfer to join?
Not at all! Our tours welcome golfers of all levels. We focus on fun, camaraderie, and unforgettable rounds—no matter what your handicap is.
Can I come alone? Will I fit in?
Absolutely. Many guests travel solo and quickly make friends. We foster a warm, inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome.
What if my partner doesn't play golf?
No problem. Many partners join to relax, explore, and enjoy the destinations. We also offer optional non-golf activities.
What’s a typical day on tour like?
Mornings often begin with either a leisurely breakfast and activity followed by a round of golf, or mid-morning tee-off times followed by afternoons at leisure or exploring local attractions. Evenings may feature group dinners or social events.
How much golf is included?
Most tours include 2 rounds in a row followed by a leisure day in-between—perfect for sightseeing or relaxing. This balance keeps things enjoyable, but you’re always welcome to add more golf if you prefer.

Thank you Mark and Golf Journeys for coordinating and hosting a superb week of golf on King Island. Not only did you provide the best weather and awesome golf courses to test our skills on, and to add to it the food, wine, company and behind the scenes tour with the locals was such a privilege to share and enjoy. Ian was a wealth of local knowledge as he drove us around the island and from course to course. I know my experience is already being shared with my friends via the stunning photos. It is a golf trip that should be on everyone's bucket list.

Golf Journeys go well and beyond to make sure your trip is safe, rewarding, fun and nothing is a problem for the crew who work behind the scenes as well as on the trip. Thank you again Mark for the best experience in Vietnam. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone who is wanting a holiday playing golf and non players are never left out. Their itinerary was just as fabulous.

Absolutely fantastic golf and winery tour in Tasmania. Mark could not have been a more attentive, professional and generous host. Big name wineries and some boutique ones as well to make a delightful mix ( both foods and wine) of what Tasmania has to offer. The golf courses at Barnbougle are spectacular links courses. All 3 are challenging but you’re rewarded at the 19th hole with views across the rolling greens and fairways and a feeling of great satisfaction having survived 18 holes. An excellent tour worthy of all 5 stars!

This was my first time playing here. I cannot express how much I enjoyed it. From the hotel staff, to the drivers, and if course Mark and his team. So professionally run, the courses were great, and can only get better. I will be looking at returning next year with some mates.

This was my first ever golf holiday of this kind. Thought the organisation was fantastic!And think the “extras” ie degustation, playing with locals, cheese tasting etc really made our experience on King Island. Thank you Mark and all very very much.

Such a top class business. My first trip with them was amazing. Adam was a delight, organising our every day, right down to the coffee order. Loic, a true gentleman, ever so patient with every one of us, his instruction was clear and our games improved immensely. Thank you Golf Journeys for the best week, I'll definitely be back again. If you are thinking about a tour, don't deny yourself this great opportunity, just do it, you won't have any regrets.
