Hole in Fun! Beijing’s Best Family-Friendly Golf Courses

We spend a lot of time writing about what moms can do with their kids. But we also know there’s plenty of incredible dads amongst our community as well. So, I decided to conduct a “super scientific poll” (basically I asked my guy friends) to find out what dads would most like to do with (or without) their kids and the surprising answer was golf!

The great news is that there are plenty of places to play in Beijing. The not-so-great news: I know nothing about this sport. So I turned to my friend Darcy Au-Yeung for a bit of guidance.

Au-Yeung is an economics and social innovation teacher at Daystar Academy and a golf aficionado. He’s been golfing for more than 30 years, 18 of which have been spent right here in Beijing with his amazing wife Amber. When I asked him why he loves golf he said quite simply, “It keeps you humble.”
