Golf Courses in Nagasaki

16 courses above a harbour city and its islands

Nagasaki is the most international city in Japanese history — the only port open to foreign trade for two centuries — and it still feels different from anywhere else in the country, built in tiers up steep hills around a deep harbour. Its 16 courses use that terrain, playing on ridges with views out to the East China Sea and the islands scattered across it. The Unzen volcano gives the prefecture a highland option, and the Dutch-themed Huis Ten Bosch resort near Sasebo is an easy add-on.

For International Golfers

The Nishi-Kyushu Shinkansen and limited express trains connect Hakata to Nagasaki, and the airport near Omura sits in the middle of the prefecture. Terrain is steep, so expect hilly layouts and carts. A car helps because the coastline is heavily indented and road distances are longer than they look on a map.
