Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Golf Club

It takes one hour by air from Kuming to Lijiang and another one hour by car from the Lijiang Airport. Sited at an altitude of 3000 meters (10,000 ft.), the air is very thin, so oxygen masks are provided in the golf carts. This golf course, 3100 meters (10,170 ft.), is the second highest in the world. The highest in the world is La Paz GC, Bolivia at the dizzying height of 3300 meters (10,800 ft.). The third to the fifth golf courses are all in Colorado, U.S.A. that are around 2900 meters (9,500 ft.). A golf course of the height of 4700 meters (14.335 ft.) in Peru used to be the No.1 in the world but due to its nose-bleeding altitude, it has now been abandoned.
