Attractions of Okinawa Resort Golf
You can enjoy all year round!
The average temperature in winter is 17° Celsius.
Even during winter, which is the off-season in areas north of Kyushu, you can play on the evergreen grass all year round.
Great location!
A number of unique courses, including an ocean view course where you can see the blue ocean from every hole, and a course on a steep cliff.
18 Holes played and funfilled thereafter
Early morning round and free time in the afternoon for sightseeing and shopping.
In addition, many golf courses in Japan use Bentgrass as a green, but in Okinawa, the majority of courses use Zoysia grass, which is compatible with the subtropical climate. There are many links courses that become even more difficult on windy days, so even advanced players are sure to be satisfied!

UV Protection
In the sunblazing Okinawa, sunburn protection is as important as heat protection.
The amount of ultraviolet rays in Okinawa is said to be twice that of Hokkaido, so high-necked tops are especially recommended for women who do not want to get suntan.
Also, sunscreen, a hat to block out the sun, and sunglasses are essential, as you can get mild burns if you neglect to take precautions in the hot summer! And don't forget to bring a towel and a hand towel!
Okinawa is surprisingly hot due to high humidity. The environment around you when traveling is different from what you are used to, so be sure to keep in mind of early actions such as "Hydrate often, before you get thirsty!" .

How to prepare golf clubs?
The difference between a regular trip and a golf trip is the preparation of golf wear and equipment in addition to the usual luggage. Some golf courses allow you to rent clubs and shoes, but if you want to play with your own golf clubs, there are two ways to do so: bring your own golf clubs or use a delivery service.
Excess charges and packaging methods for checking baggage on a plane vary depending on the airline, so be sure to check in advance.
