However, golfers do not need to be members to practice their swing.

In addition to the more than 100 courses in Beijing, there are also plenty of driving ranges, which take up less land and are easier to maintain. The number of indoor golf simulators in the capital is also on the rise.

"Golf is no longer deemed a sport for rich businessmen and celebrities, as it used to be," Zheng said. "Nowadays, more white-collar workers are signing up for coaching sessions to learn from scratch or to improve their skills."

She added that more women and teenagers are also taking up the sport.

Subsequently, the demand for qualified caddies and coaches is also set to skyrocket in the coming years.
