Golfers looking to save cash or air miles and be cool-in every sense of the term-can head to Yunnan's provincial capital Kunming and Jilin province's Changbai Mountains.
Jilin's Birch Ridge and Pine Mountain clubs host 18 holes in forest surroundings.
Kunming's Spring City Golf and Lake Resort offers mountain-and-lake courses. The city's Stoneforest International Country Club has three 18-hole international-championship-level courses designed by Brian Curley-Yufeng Ridge, Masters' Resort and Leaders' Peak.
Ctrip's Fu says such coastal cities as Shandong province's Qingdao and Yantai offer ocean views and cool sea breezes.

The more countries liberalize their visa policies, the more their courses will lure Chinese golfers.
Many of these providers agree their host countries' policies will prove a hole in one.
