We arrange golf only as part of a complete Japan tour that includes hotels and ground arrangements. There are no standalone tee times.
Golf Digest Japan Tour Center is our partner for requesting tee times inside that package.
Tee times are typically confirmed 2 to 3 months in advance. Alternate courses may be used for availability, tournaments, or maintenance.
-
Japanese golf is a full-day club visit: check-in, the round, often a sit-down lunch between nines on Honshu, then checkout. Hokkaido courses more often play through without a mid-round meal.
A sport jacket is usually required entering and leaving the clubhouse. Caddies are typical for visitors. Tipping is not customary; if you give one, it is not included in the tour.
Many clubs have a bath or onsen after play.
