Spring City Golf & Lake Resort: China's Only Home to Two World Top-100 Courses  03:13, 12/10/2026

Golf is where every wonderful experience at Spring City begins. The resort is home to two 18-hole championship courses that have each earned a place among the World's Top 100 Golf Courses - a distinction no other resort in China can claim. The Mountain Course, designed personally by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus, perches on the high slopes above Yangzonghai Lake, drawing both the quiet serenity of the highlands and the free-spirited charm of the lake views across its rolling terrain; its dramatic 18th hole is ranked among the World's Top 500 Holes. The Lake Course, created by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones Jr., winds gracefully along the lakeshore and is world-famous for its narrow fairways, rugged gullies, strong lake breezes and terraced greens - a layout that golfers worldwide regard as one of the most demanding tests of the game. To enjoy two Top-100 courses in a single destination is a rare privilege anywhere on the planet.

While golf is our foundation, Spring City is far more than just a championship venue. But Spring City is far more than golf. In 2024, China's first Nordisk Village opened here, bringing the Danish outdoor brand's philosophy of "Nature is Luxury" to the shores of Yangzonghai. From traditional family camping to minimalist solo camping and sought-after glamping, the village blends the Danish "Hygge" lifestyle — a sense of peace, comfort and togetherness — with the region's natural surroundings, offering guests a genuine escape into the wild without giving up comfort.

Across 504 hectares (7,560 mu) of mountains, lakes and forest, the resort invites guests to slow down and reconnect with nature. Stroll along the lakeside trails and breathe the freshest air, or wander through woodlands where birdlife and squirrels thrive. For younger visitors and the young at heart, the sustainable farm brings the farm-to-table idea to life with organically tended vegetables, bilingual nature lessons and the chance to feed the animals. Meanwhile, pickleball courts, the wellness center with its high-tech therapy cabins, the Tough Mudder challenge, nature craft workshops and lakeside wedding photography open up endless possibilities — whether you swing a club or not, there is ease and joy here for everyone.

The resort offers 73 guest rooms and suites, along with nearly a hundred villas in varied styles, all quietly overlooking Yangzonghai Lake. Every room opens to a balcony with a lake view, while the one-, two- and three-bedroom villas bring an even more private, home-like stay. Dining is a journey in itself: the Yunnan-inspired fusion cuisine at Eagle's Nest Restaurant, the Southeast Asian classics such as laksa, bak kut teh and Hainanese chicken rice at the Par Café, and the Yunnan truffle pizzas at Birdie Pizza House will leave your taste buds just as captivated — while the retro-themed 19th Hole music venue keeps the evening alive with live performances, craft beer and cocktails.

As a model of China–Singapore cooperation, developed by Singapore's Keppel Group and now in operation for 30 years, Spring City Golf & Lake Resort draws on its irreplaceable natural and cultural resources to redefine a high-quality lakeside lifestyle. Gather by the lakeside at Spring City, and be renewed between mountains and water.
