Japan golf, answered
Quick answers for planning your first round.
Can foreigners book golf courses directly in Japan?
Yes, many courses welcome overseas visitors. However, some booking sites require a Japanese phone number or address, and course policies vary. Our booking assistance can handle the coordination when direct booking is difficult.
Do I need a caddie?
Usually not. Many courses offer self-play with a cart, while caddie plans are available or required at some clubs. Check the plan details before booking.
What do green fees usually cost?
As a practical guide, weekday self-play often costs about ¥8,000–¥18,000. Weekend and holiday rounds commonly run ¥15,000–¥28,000 or more, depending on the course, season, lunch, cart, and caddie.
