Golf Courses in Saitama

54 courses on Tokyo’s northern doorstep

Saitama is the closest serious golf to central Tokyo that does not involve crossing the bay. The Olympic golf competition at Tokyo 2020 was played here, at Kasumigaseki Country Club in Kawagoe, and the prefecture’s golf character follows from that: mature, tree-lined parkland courses laid out on the Musashino plateau, many of them founded generations ago. Trains from Ikebukuro and Omiya reach the golf belt around Kawagoe, Hanno and Chichibu in well under an hour.

For International Golfers

Saitama courses are popular with Tokyo members, so weekend tee sheets close out well in advance and dress codes are enforced strictly — collared shirt, no denim, jacket expected in some clubhouses. Book early for weekends; weekdays are far easier and cheaper. GolfMatchy confirms the specific dress requirement for your course with your booking.
