Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Golf Club

About

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Golf Club is located in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China, and is renowned for being the world's longest regulation par-72 golf course, stretching 8,548 yards from the pro tees[1][2]. Situated at an altitude of approximately 3,100 meters (10,800 feet), it is the second-highest golf course globally and the highest in Asia[5]. The high elevation causes golf balls to travel 15-20% farther than at lower altitudes, effectively reducing the course's playing length[1][4]. The course is designed by Robin Nelson and Neil Haworth, with input from Zhang Lian-wei[3][4]. It features a Scottish links-style front nine and a mountainous back nine with challenging elevation changes[1][2]. The scenic backdrop of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain offers breathtaking views from nearly every hole[1][2]. The course includes amenities like a driving range and restaurants, making it a must-play destination for golf enthusiasts seeking a unique challenge amidst stunning natural beauty[1][3].
