Driving range (golf)

[Rick in China]

Hey,

Curious if anyone here heads out or has interest in golf. I usually just head to the driving range near Millenium hotel / Victoria apartments, kinda south-southwest just before airport expressway. I’ve only seen a couple foreigners there, older guys, if anyone has interest in headin to the driving range on nice weekend days feel free to post and we’ll set up some times.

Do you have your own clubs or do they have loaners at the range? I didn’t even know there was a driving range in Chengdu.

The driving range can be found here:

I bought my own clubs, ordered several sets from Shenzhen – they’re actually not bad, even though they’re fake 😀 You can also rent clubs there, they had loaners before but I don’t know if they still do and if so, I think they only had 7’s for loan.

Looks cool, I’m up for heading down the driving range, don’t have any clubs here yet.

What clubs did you order? Where you get them from?

I’m up for going to a driving range. I suck at golf, but enjoy it

don’t have clubs, anything they have will do

Hey guys,

I ordered some clubs from ShenZhen, “Callaway” knockoffs including bag/drivers/irons – actually happy with the quality for the price. I’ll head there this weekend if the weather is nice, will post a time and if any of you want to head down, can use my clubs or borrow the ones they have if they still lend them.. also, the dude I ordered clubs from has lefties, I brought up like 3 sets that time.

Just brought clubs back from the UK.

Does anybody know where the cheapest course is?

[Charlie]

I’m not sure which one’s cheaper but evidently there are two golf courses inside third ring road in Chengdu:

Chengdu Xinzhendi Golf Club

四川省成都市高新区神仙树南路10号

+86 28 8512 3219

Swan Lake Golf Club

四川省成都市青羊区青羊大道888号

+86 28 8170 0888 ‎

International price, not international standards in quality 🙂

The prices range (last I checked) from about 800 (maybe it was a discount price) to 1200 for 18. There are also a few courses out near like, QingCheng, and Mu Ma shan..

[AM]

Way too much for me. 500 per round would be my limit.

[Rick in China]

I’ll be headin’ there this weekend assuming the weather is as it has been the last few days.

If anyone is interested (likely tomorrow between 10am-noon) PM me and I’ll send out a message or whatever upon confirmation.

HI Rick

Just saw this message, too late. Hope the new clubs were worth it.

I have to go traveling on business for the next 8 weeks but when I come back at the end of October I will then be based here permantley.

I’ll be a regualar at the driving range and will be looking at the different courses here.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a kid’s mini-golf range (like Golfland- http://www.golfland.com/sunnyvale/) around Chengdu? I also want my 7 year old daughter to try golf. Does anyone know of any golf instruction school or place for kids?

Thanks.

Guys,

Since there is a thread on this golfing topic, I would post my question here instead, I am thinking of picking up golf while I here in Chengdu. Can anyone advise if there are courses for novice and how much typically is a course? Would it be recognised worldwide?
