Golf Courses in Hiroshima

25 courses above the Seto Inland Sea

Hiroshima is the one western-Japan city almost every international visitor already plans to see, which makes its golf unusually easy to fit into an existing itinerary. Courses climb the hills immediately behind the city, most within 30 to 45 minutes of the centre, many looking down over the delta and out to the Inland Sea islands. A morning round, an afternoon at the Peace Memorial Park and an evening ferry to Miyajima is a realistic single day, and the food — okonomiyaki and oysters — is a reason to stay another.

Why Golf in Hiroshima?

For International Golfers

Hiroshima is a Sanyo Shinkansen stop with a full range of hotels; courses are a taxi ride into the hills behind the city. Because most visitors come for the sights rather than the golf, weekday tee times are easy to get at short notice. Winters are mild and frost delays are rare at lower elevations.

Golf in Hiroshima: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play golf during a short stay in Hiroshima?

Yes. Most Hiroshima courses are 30–45 minutes from the city centre, so an early tee time still leaves the afternoon for the Peace Memorial Park or the ferry to Miyajima. It is one of the easiest cities in Japan to add a round to without changing your plans.

Are Hiroshima courses hilly?

Mostly, yes — the city sits on a narrow delta and the golf is on the hills behind it, so expect elevation change and elevated tees with views over the water. Riding carts are standard, so the terrain is not a problem in practice.
