Things you should know about golf in Niigata
Niigata boasts many exceptional courses that make the most of the natural terrain along the Sea of Japan coast.
Located right in the center of the Sea of Japan coastline, Niigata Prefecture stretches across 635 km of shore. Meanwhile, its inland areas are surrounded by mountains ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 m, making it famous as one of Japan's premier heavy snowfall regions. Because of this, many people might associate Niigata more with ski resorts than golf courses, but the local passion for golf is remarkably high. The region is home to many superb courses designed to follow the natural contours of the coast, and several of them are prestigious enough to host professional women's golf tournaments.
Convenient access via the Joetsu Shinkansen or by air to Niigata Airport.
Depending on your destination, the best ways to reach Niigata’s golf courses are either by taking the Joetsu Shinkansen or flying into Niigata Airport. If you travel by Shinkansen, many courses are easily accessible by rental car from Nagaoka, Tsubame-Sanjo, or Niigata Station. For those flying, Niigata Airport offers convenient direct flights from major cities across Japan, including Sapporo (New Chitose and Okadama), Sendai, Narita, Nagoya (Chubu Centrair and Komaki), Osaka (Itami and Kansai), Fukuoka, and Okinawa (Naha).
Dainiigata Country Club Izumosaki Course is a favorite for its stunning panoramic views of the Sea of Japan.
Among the many exceptional courses clustered along the Niigata coast, the Dainiigata Country Club Izumosaki Course stands out as a top favorite. Perched on gentle hills overlooking Sado Bay, the course is designed to let players enjoy their game amidst a truly dynamic landscape. For those looking inland, the Dainiigata Country Club Sanjo Course is the place to be. Carved out of the rolling woodlands of the Chuetsu region, this course features strategically placed ponds that offer a rewarding challenge for golfers of all levels.
