City Introduction
Weihai, the easternmost tip of the Shandong Peninsula, is where the Yellow Sea meets China's most pristine coastline. Recognised by the United Nations as one of the "Most Suitable Places for Human Habitation," this clean, green city boasts dramatic coastal cliffs, golden beaches, and a cool maritime climate. As the closest Chinese city to South Korea, Weihai blends fresh sea air with a relaxed peninsula lifestyle, offering golfers a serene escape surrounded by ocean views and lush hillsides.

Why Golf Here?
Weihai has emerged as one of northern China's premier golf destinations, with courses masterfully designed by acclaimed international architects including David Dale, Robert W Mckinney, and GMI. The city boasts Asia's only course where every single hole offers ocean views—the spectacular Weihai Point, which has earned multiple "Best New International Course" accolades. From clifftop layouts hugging the Yellow Sea to mountain courses carved into natural terrain, Weihai's diverse golf portfolio offers challenges for every skill level. The city's strategic location—just 45 minutes by air from Seoul and one hour from Beijing—makes it a favoured destination for Korean and Japanese golfers seeking coastal fairways and world-class service. In October 2014, Weihai hosted the prestigious Golf Magazine China Top 10 Courses Awards Ceremony, cementing its reputation in China's golfing landscape.

Best Season to Visit
The optimal time for golf in Weihai is from May to October, when temperatures are mild and coastal scenery is at its finest. Spring (April-May) brings blooming flowers and fresh sea breezes, while autumn (September-October) offers cool, clear days with stunning golden foliage. Summer (June-August) is the peak season with pleasant temperatures averaging 25°C and refreshing ocean winds. Winter (November-March) is cold and windy, with most courses closed for maintenance.
