Abstract: Depending on literature, logical analysis and field investigation, the paper conducts depth interviews to golf participants, service people and management personnel.

The paper interprets the cultural symbol of golf in China from the dimensions of implements, system, behavior and mindset. Three cultural symbolic paths are finally suggested in the paperthe integration of competition and leisure, the equal sharing between the noble and ordinary people, and the mutual learning from each other between the western and eastern culture.
