Golf Courses I’ve Played in Japan: An Interactive Course Map

Japan offers an extraordinary range of golf experiences—from coastal layouts and mountain resorts to strategic parkland courses within reach of Tokyo. This interactive Photo Geo Map album brings together the golf courses I have played in Japan and makes every location easy to explore.

A personal golf map across Japan

A list of course names tells only part of the story. Placing each round on a map reveals the distance traveled, the regions visited and the remarkable variety of Japanese golf. The album includes resort courses, championship venues, accessible public layouts and memorable destinations across several prefectures.

Open any marker in the live map to see the course name and image, then zoom out to understand how the rounds connect into a wider golf journey.

What makes golf travel in Japan special?

Japanese golf changes dramatically with the landscape. Mountain courses reward careful club selection, coastal locations bring wind into play, and forest layouts create a sense of calm that feels far removed from the city. The clubhouse, local food and nearby accommodation are also part of the experience, making a round an excellent anchor for a short trip.
