Golf Courses in Tottori

16 courses below Mount Daisen

Tottori is the least populated prefecture in Japan and its golf is correspondingly unhurried. Sixteen courses sit between the Sea of Japan coast — where the country’s only major sand dune field runs for 16 kilometres — and Mount Daisen, a 1,700-metre volcano that dominates the skyline from almost every fairway in the eastern half of the prefecture. Green fees are among the lowest in Japan and you will rarely wait on a tee.

For International Golfers

Tottori and Yonago airports both take direct Haneda flights, and the coastal San’in Line links the towns. A car is the practical choice given how spread out the prefecture is. Winter on this coast is wet with occasional snow, so April to November gives the most reliable golf.

Golf in Tottori: Frequently Asked Questions

Is there enough golf in Tottori for a trip?

It is a small prefecture with 16 courses, so it works best as a two- or three-round stop rather than a week. What it offers is space: the emptiest tee sheets in Japan, low fees, and Mount Daisen on the horizon for most of the round.

What should I see in Tottori besides golf?

The Tottori sand dunes are the obvious one — a 16-kilometre stretch of coastal dunes that exists nowhere else in Japan. Mount Daisen has hiking and an old temple complex on its slopes, and the coastal towns are known for crab in the winter months.
