Two Ways to Experience Golf in Japan

Whether you prefer to book individual tee times or plan a fully arranged golf tour, we make it effortless.

Golf in Japan, Without the Friction

From tee-time reservations and course communication to the finer details of your day, we simplify every step of the booking process and give you confidence from start to finish.

Booking on Your Own

  • Reservations often rely on Japanese-only booking systems or phone calls
  • Some prestigious clubs require an introduction or existing member connection
  • English-language support may be limited both before arrival and at the course
  • Payment, cancellation and course policies can be difficult to confirm in advance

With Elite Golf Japan

  • Response within 12 business hours (JST 9:00–18:00)
  • US$60 solo, US$90 for two or three, US$120 for four, charged only after we secure your tee time — nothing if we cannot
  • No card needed to request — at most courses, for dates 10+ days away, pay by secure link once your tee time is booked
  • Clear cancellation terms provided in English before confirmation

Golf in Japan, Answered

The questions international golfers ask us most, before their first round in Japan.

Can foreign visitors play golf at Japan’s top courses?

Yes. Many of Japan’s prestigious courses are members-only, but Elite Golf Japan holds direct partnerships with 37 courses across 15 prefectures, so international visitors can play without a membership or member introduction. We arrange the booking, guest paperwork, rental clubs, and caddies; an English-speaking on-course host and airport transfers are available on request.

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.

Can I rent golf clubs in Japan?

Yes. We arrange rental clubs delivered to your course or hotel, so you can travel to Japan without bringing your own bag. Tell us your height and dominant hand and we will have a set ready.

What happens if rain cancels a golf round in Japan?

If severe weather is forecast, we decide by 8 p.m. JST the evening before and offer an alternative course or a new date, with no booking fee charged for the change. If the course closes for severe weather or a natural disaster, you receive a full refund of the amount paid to us, or free rebooking.

Do I need a group, or can I play solo?

Group-size rules vary by course — some accept twosomes or solo players, while others require three or four. Tell us your group size and we will match you to courses that fit, or pair you appropriately.
