World Golf Guides: Japan

 


image: 3rd hole, Kawana, Japan
 

Golf in Japan is an untapped gold mine, yet to be discovered by the west. The Japanese are well known for taking a good idea and creating the ultimate - and golf has proven no exception. Take the best golf course designers in the world, give them an unlimited budget, and tell them to design to their hearts content. Then ask architects to create clubhouses with one goal: not to be outdone by anyone. Nowhere else in the world will you find such lavishly appointed facilities in such staggering numbers, with the most ultra-modern and luxurious clubhouses imaginable. Japanese golf is a slight twist from the old game: experience electronic, remote control carts with GPS systems, or airport-style escalators and conveyer belts that whiz you around the course. Just think like a samurai, clear your schedule for a full day (golfers break after nine holes for a long lunch, regardless of the time of day), substitute your scotch whiskey with sake and you'll be ready for an unforgettable golfing experience.

Other Recommended Courses

Atsugi Kokusai Country Club
This meandering course close to Tokyo features a two green configuration and is the current site of the Daimler Chrysler Cup. It's so well kept that your shoes get cleaner as you play!

Nakasu Golf Club
This 18-hole course has an Augusta style feel with the stone bridge over the pond, and the southern laid back atmosphere. It also has a great driving range and a picturesque waterfall.

Ichihara Korakuen Golf
This millennium course challenges all levels of players and has an immaculate clubhouse. For a new course the greens are well seasoned and it has the feel of a PGA championship course.

Mishima Country Club
Situated on either side of a small valley with glimpses of Mt. Fuji in the distance. Good use of natural and man-made water hazards and 90 bunkers keep things challenging.
