hello, does anyone still read this thread??? i've just got to shanghai and am looking for some social rounds to play. i'm not a great player but love the game, also need to get some golf clubs here too if anyone knows where's best.

Thanks.

What handicap are you and when are you available to play? What price range can you accept for a round of 18 holes?

by **nottsmatt** » Tue Jun 09, 2009 11:05 am

Cheers for the reply. Play at the weekends, i haven't played consistently for a few years now so prob about 19/20 hdcp, maybe even worse....not sure on prices of courses over here, i used to pay the equivalent of about 300 RMB for 18 in UK. Is that reasonable??

by **aznrurounikj** » Wed Jun 10, 2009 11:24 am

If you are looking strictly for weekends, you will not find any course for 300 RMB if you are not a member. Low-end courses cost 700-800 on weekends here (such as Hongqiao and Orient Golf Course) and the better ones like Sheshan and Tomson cost 1200-1400 RMB. Even if you are a member at Sheshan you still have to pay 300 RMB each time you pay for caddy/green fee/cart. The cheapest course I can get is Suzhou Three Suns for 480 rmb on a weekend, and a decent course worth its salt would be Sun Island for 670 on the weekend.

If you can play on weekdays you can generally negotiate much better deals with a sales representative from the golf course, or if you can get a 4-some going I can hook you up. I can get lower-tier courses like the Orient for 385 on a weekday.

I guess the moral to take from this story is if you want to play golf I strongly recommend you play on weekdays only because price deviations are 100%.

by **buckeye** » Thu Jun 11, 2009 11:02 pm

I agree that golfing is more expensive in SH than US. A few years ago in BJ, we normally spent RMB 450 to 650 for the weekday morning games (walking) in low to mid level courses. I think Orient for RMB 385 is pretty good.

by **aznrurounikj** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 10:39 am

Yeah, like i said though that's weekday ONLY. Orient on weekends can still go up to nearly 800 rmb on the weekend, and c'mon you can play at courses like TPC back in the states for that amount. Orient would be your typical state-of-the-art public golf course for 20 or 30 bucks lol...

by **MarkDow** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 11:19 am

I would love to play, need rentals though!

Hi everyone
I will be staying in Shanghai in Aug, but will only have one day free, so I will not be able to look around much. I was hoping to get an A grade nike fake club set with bag and shoes. Can anyone give me some tips where to find this, or any other brand? Is the fake market at the S&T Museum still open? Will I find this there?
I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

by **aznrurounikj** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 5:28 pm

If you are interested PM me. I would need you to send specifics though such as models, of Nike Golf irons and drivers you're looking for, and the specifics on shoes and golf bag.

A budget would also be good too.

by **AnthonyT** » Tue Aug 25, 2009 9:37 pm

wow. 385 per round. that is really good. the best i got was for sun island for 450. where is the Orient. and can you tell me how to book it for weekdays.

Hey guys looking to join as well but i need to get my stuff together and look for some clubs and see what the prices are, i think i'm okay with paying for the same kind of rates i payed for back in the states.

by **aznrurounikj** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 5:12 pm

Buddy you aren't going to find the same rates/quality ratio you get back in the states. Cheapest course on a weekend is over 700 rmb if you aren't a member and the average price on a weekday is around 400. There is a shithole you can go to for 250 rmb though (9 hole course).

For the Orient I book that through my friend.

by **abc1983** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:08 pm

Thanks for the heads up. Well guess sol for now then.

I'm going to be in Shanghai for long term from US(company contract just got extended). Brought my clubs over this time and is looking for golf buddies for some friendly competition this summer(shoot around high 90's usually). Please PM me if you are interested.

So was the Shanghai Golf Society ever launched??

by **chenlo** » Sat May 01, 2010 4:23 pm

Anyone wanna go for driving range together in Pudong?

Near Shang Cheng Rd / Tao Lin Rd. PM me if you are interested.

by **Globalwanderer** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 10:40 pm

Just arrived in Shanghai as an Expat. Really have an itch to golf. Usually shoot in the mid 80s, and I would love to play a round with people. Courses here seem very exclusive and expensive. But I'd be up for figuring out the good deals and locations. I don't drive, so we would have to coordinate transportation. Shoot me a line if you are also interested in playing.

by **JoanPu** » Thu Jun 24, 2010 3:04 pm

Hi guys, Joan here.
I am not sure whether you already all joined in one society or not. But I will always be ready to help you guys with discount tee time reservations, transportations, etc. Anyone haven't joined, pls contact me at joan@openfairwaysasia.com. I am thinking putting all your guys together and arrange games for you guys every wek or so.
Guys, come on, let's make it happen.

by **Mr. Furious** » Sun Apr 10, 2011 11:38 am

Is this golf society still going on? I noticed the thread is a little old.

by **shanghaijim** » Tue May 03, 2011 8:30 pm

Would be nice to get a round in with a few Expats . If you are interested in the range meeting to discuss sometime . The range in Zieting road is at Zeting road take exit 1 from the Line 10 subway and just go right ( you will see the big net ) 100rmb for all you can hit from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays . So great for a lot of Practice.
