Okinawa Resort Golf: Oceanfront Fairways and Year-Round Island Tee Times

With a mild subtropical climate year-round, Okinawa is Japan's favorite winter golf getaway. Located just 2.5 hours by air from Tokyo or Osaka, the island offers palm-fringed fairways, dramatic cliffside ocean links, and luxury beach resorts.

1. The Southern Links Golf Club

The Southern Links Golf Club features two of the most exhilarating holes in the Pacific: tee shots struck 40 meters directly over crashing waves onto clifftop fairways.

2. Kise Country Club

Nestled in northern Nago, Kise Country Club has hosted the Japan PGA Championship and offers dual 9-hole experiences through subtropical forests and along the East China Sea.
