Shodoshima Seaside Golf Club, Golf course on Shodoshima Island, Japan.
Shodoshima Seaside Golf Club is an 18-hole course on a coastal island with views toward the sea and multiple tee options for different skill levels. The layout uses natural elevation changes and water hazards to create strategic challenges throughout the round.
The facility opened in 1993 with a design that incorporated the island's natural features into the layout. Architect Sato created a course that worked with the existing landscape rather than fighting against it.
The club sits on an island known for olive cultivation, and many visitors combine their round with exploring local food and craft traditions. The setting reflects how golf became part of everyday leisure across Japan.
Reservations can be made online to plan your visit in advance, and the course provides golf carts for navigating the terrain. This setup works well for players of varying fitness levels and helps manage the hilly layout.
The course provides private golf carts included with play, which sets it apart from many facilities that charge separately for cart rental. Sea breezes significantly affect gameplay daily, making wind management a key part of each player's strategy.
