The booking fee is US$30 per golfer (minimum US$60 per booking), and we reply within about 4 hours.

Who this is for

Visitors from overseas

Golfers from North America, Europe, and Australia who want to play Japan while they travel.

No Japanese, no membership

Many top clubs run Japanese-only systems and require a member introduction. We open that door for you.

Want it handled end to end

From reservation to caddie to transport, you want one English-speaking point of contact for the whole round.

What we do

Book the tee time

Direct partnerships with 36 courses mean guaranteed availability — no third-party markup, no member introduction needed.

Handle the Japanese side

We make the reservation, complete the guest registration each club requires, and confirm every detail in Japanese so nothing is lost in translation.

Arrange the logistics

Rental clubs delivered to your course or hotel and caddie arrangements, set up before you arrive. Airport or hotel transfers are available as an option.

An English-speaking host, on request

On-course support in English, plus a short course-specific etiquette briefing, so you feel at home from the first tee.

What golf etiquette should I know in Japan?

Most Japanese courses play a two-part round: the front 9, a sit-down lunch, then the back 9. A collared shirt and proper golf shoes are expected, and many clubs keep a locker-room bath (onsen) you are welcome to use after play. We brief every guest on the specifics for their course.
