Chongqing Qinglong Nanshan at Chongqing Qinglong Nanshan Golf Club

Chongqing Qinglong Nanshan Golf Club occupies mountainous terrain in the Nan'an district south of central Chongqing, a sprawling municipality in southwestern China known for its dramatic topography where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers converge. The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus, whose design firm has created numerous layouts across China since the country's golf development accelerated in the 1990s and 2000s. The Nanshan area, whose name translates to "South Mountain," provides an elevated setting with significant changes in elevation that characterize the routing.

The layout reflects the challenges of building on steep, forested hillsides typical of the Chongqing region. Golfers encounter substantial elevation changes throughout the round, with holes routed through valleys and along ridgelines that offer views across the surrounding landscape. The design incorporates the natural contours of the site, requiring strategic club selection and course management as players navigate uphill and downhill shots. Water features and bunkering frame the holes in keeping with Nicklaus design principles.

The club serves the Chongqing metropolitan area, one of China's largest urban centers, providing a retreat from the dense city environment. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities standard for golf developments in major Chinese cities during the period of the country's golf expansion.
