What is popular resort golf on Miyako Island?

Resort golf refers to golf courses located in summer resorts and tourist destinations.

Miyako Island has many excellent golf courses with a wide variety of features.

In this issue, we will introduce popular resort golf courses on Miyako Island, so if you are interested in playing golf during your visit to Miyako Island, please take a look at them.

 

Resort Golf Attractions

The past few years have seen a golf boom by young people, and the number of golfers in their 20s is rapidly increasing.

One reason for this is that more people are choosing golf courses for dates and blind dates because the beautifully trimmed lawns and fashions look great on social media.

Many golf courses are located in forests, allowing golfers to enjoy golf together with forest bathing.

Let's take a look at the appeal of resort golf on Miyako Island.

 

Great view!

The increase in the number of people interested in their health is one of the reasons for the growth of the golf population.

Gyms for strength training and running are popular, but golf, an open-air sport, offers a travel feel as the scenery changes from place to place.

Golf courses with beautiful scenery also exist on Miyako Island, and more and more people are using them for sightseeing.

You will surely feel like a top-notch golf player as you play the course while enjoying the refreshing breeze at a place where you can play with a view of the ocean.

Many locations are surrounded by tropical trees and flowers that enhance the resort atmosphere, and are recommended for those who want to feel like they are traveling abroad.

There is also a course that offers a panoramic view of the Miyako blue, so you can enjoy healing and sports at the same time.

 

Enjoyable all year round

Miyako Island belongs to a subtropical climate, so it is warm all year round.

In winter, golf courses are "snow closed" when there is snow on the ground and will not be open until the snow is cleared.

However, snow rarely accumulates on Miyako Island, so golf can be enjoyed comfortably all year round.

Summer in Miyakojima is hot, but the sea breeze is pleasant.

Use a cart, stay hydrated, and play with caution to avoid heat stroke.

Also, the sun is strong in all seasons, so sunburn protection is essential.

It is recommended to visit Miyako Island in each season and play while experiencing the changing scenery.

 

Reservations required?

When playing golf courses on Miyako Island, it is advisable to make reservations as much as possible.

If you wish to play without a reservation, golf course membership holders will be accepted unless the golf course is full.

However, golf course memberships are less common due to their high cost.

If the weather is uncertain or you suddenly feel the urge to play golf after visiting Miyako Island, some golf course reservation sites accept reservations until 5:00 am.

However, if you do not make a reservation in advance, it is often not a guaranteed 2-some, so couples or two friends who want to play a hole together should be sure to make a reservation.

Some golf courses offer free play at low prices without a caddie, or have a full lineup of rental clubs and other equipment, so it is a good idea to check for these services when making a reservation.
