How Hainan packages work
Hainan is the largest golf destination in China, with around 29 courses split between Haikou in the north and Sanya in the south of the tropical island. The trips that travelling golfers take here are almost all multi round packages built by operators, bundling green fees with the caddie, cart, insurance, service charge and locker that Chinese courses charge separately, so the package price is what actually matters rather than the headline green fee.
The hub is Mission Hills Haikou, about 10 kilometers south of Haikou city, a vast resort with 10 championship courses laid over volcanic rock alongside a water park and a dining and shopping village. Package figures below are planning guides rather than quotes, since rates move with season and availability, and you should always confirm directly before booking.

The deals worth watching
Mission Hills Haikou stay and play
The default Hainan trip is a stay and play at Mission Hills Haikou, where 10 championship courses sit on a single volcanic rock site, so you can rotate rounds without leaving the resort. A five day, four round package is the widely sold shape, with green fees bundled together with the caddie, cart and other charges that would otherwise be billed individually. For most groups this is the simplest and best value way into the island's golf.
The Best of Hainan run
For golfers who want the full island, operators sell a Best of Hainan package, typically seven days and five or six rounds, that links the Haikou courses in the north, the Dunes on the east coast and Sanya in the south. It covers all three of the island's golf regions in one trip and includes green fees, caddie, cart on a twin share basis, service charge, insurance and locker, so the price reflects everything you pay to play, not just the fee.
How green fees actually work
The thing to understand on Hainan is that the green fee is only part of the cost. Chinese courses charge separately for the compulsory caddie, the cart, a service charge, insurance and a locker, and at Mission Hills these extras have ranged from roughly 210 to 620 RMB depending on the course, even where members play the 18 holes complimentary. That is exactly why packages win here: a bundled price removes the per round arithmetic and usually lands cheaper than booking each element.
Our take
Hainan is a packaged destination, and trying to play it as a series of standalone green fees is a false economy once the caddie, cart and add on charges stack up. The two trips that make sense are a Mission Hills Haikou stay and play for a focused golf week and the Best of Hainan run for groups who want to see the whole island, both bought as bundles.
Our advice is to buy the package rather than the round, base at Mission Hills Haikou if you want the resort to do the work, and step up to the island wide run if you have the days. Our Hainan golf hub sets out the courses and regions, and our team can assemble the package and tee times, costed to the head, before you commit.
