Kyushu and Okinawa are winter resorts where you can play in warmth all year round, even when Hokkaido & Tohoku Hokuriku and other parts of Honshu are covered in snow, and many golf courses have been developed with tourists as well as locals in mind. Specifically, there are many attractive courses with clubhouses that exude a tropical atmosphere, layouts that incorporate palm trees and other plants not found on Honshu, and dynamic ocean views that take advantage of the terrain surrounded by the sea.
Kyushu & Okinawa are both far and wide, so each prefecture has its own iconic airport. The most common way to get there is by plane, then rent a car or take Shuttle bus from the airport. However, the Kyushu Shinkansen runs 288.9 kilometers from Hakata (Fukuoka) to Kagoshima-Chuo, and the Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen runs 69.6 kilometers from Nagasaki to Takeo Onsen (Saga). For those who enjoy traveling by train, a luxurious golf trip to Kyushu might be a great way to spend your time.
Okinawa is located much south of Kyushu and has its own unique color. Okinawa has an overwhelming number of courses with ocean views where you can see the sea while playing, but you rarely see holes across the sea. Among them, The Southern Links Golf Club has two consecutive holes over the sea, with the 7th par 4 and 8th par 3 holes being the most spectacular views in Japan. Golf courses in Kyushu are recommended around Fukuoka City, the largest city of Fukuoka. Nijo Country Club you can enjoy a powerful driver shot that hits towards Genkai Nada.
