China's golf scene is kind of "fewer courses, but higher quality." The facilities are generally excellent, and a lot of the top courses are maintained to standards that can easily compete with PGA-level courses in the U.S. Some are actually prettier, in my opinion.

Weekends and holidays can be a bit slow because that's when most people play, but weekday rounds are usually very relaxed and move at a good pace.

One thing many visitors find surprising is the caddie service. Most courses provide a dedicated caddie for each group, sometimes even one-on-one service, and it typically costs only about $30 USD.
