Golf in Okinawa

Hi, this is Shizuka. How’ve you been? It’s cold these days, isn’t it? Please stay warm.

Do you play golf? I started it about 3 years ago. It’s very interesting!

Today, I recommend enjoying the resort golf in Okinawa.

Okinawa’s climate is perfect for golf through the year. 

 Okinawa has lots of beautiful resort courses, too.

(You may meet some ducks.)

Among them, my favorite golf course is ‘Kise Country Club’, which is located in Nago city, the northern part of the Okinawa’s main island.

Ten years have elapsed since the course was built.　

It is in the woods of ‘Yanbaru’(The name for the northern part).

‘Yanbaru’ is regarded as the island’s center for eco-tourism because there stretches the wild forest.

While you play golf in the ‘Kise Country Club’, you can see the beautiful ocean, too. You can enjoy not only the forests but also the ocean there. How nice! Of course I really enjoy the sport there.

‘Kise Country Club’ offers a 18-hole course, and hosts the All Japan Golf Tournament. The lawn they use is the best one for subtropical climate, and is used in Hawaii, too. 

Sometimes the professional golfers who play in the world visit to get the feel of the lawn.

Its clubhouse offers meals and drinks made from Okinawan local foods and fruits.

I recommend ‘Goya & Pineapple Juice’. It is a fresh juice made from Goya (Okinawan bitter vegetable, looks like a cucumber) and pineapple.

You can also drink Awamori(Okinawan spirit) at the clubhouse. I expect you will enjoy the nineteenth hole, too.

  

 I often visit and play golf with my friends there , so why don’t we meet there?

Have a wonderful day!!
