Grand Golf Around Narita & Tsukuba

        Frequently Asked Questions

​

Q1: What top-tier golf courses are there around Narita and Tsukuba?

We plan two routes — the Narita Line and the Tsukuba Line — covering six courses, all carrying the highest tier of the Heiwa Group (PGM · Accordia): GRAND. Narita Line: Narashino Country Club, PGM Sosei, Glen Oaks. Tsukuba Line: Ishioka, Miho, and The Golf Club Ryugasaki.

Q2: What is a GRAND-tier golf course?

GRAND is the premium brand the PGM and Accordia groups select from nearly a thousand courses across Japan — only about 23 nationwide carry it. The name comes from the French for "grand, dignified," reserved for courses with the highest strategic quality and service. All six of our Narita and Tsukuba courses are GRAND tier.

Q3: Why is Narashino Country Club famous? Can overseas golfers play it?

Narashino is the only course in Japan to have hosted a PGA Tour event, holding the ZOZO Championship for five straight years from 2019 to 2024. Tiger Woods won here in 2019 for his 82nd PGA Tour title, tying the all-time record; Hideki Matsuyama and Collin Morikawa have also won here. It earlier hosted the Suntory Open and the Japan Open. It has two courses, King and Queen, and is Accordia GRAND tier. Yes, it can be arranged — it's the most-requested course on the Narita Line.

Q4: Was Ishioka Golf Club designed by Jack Nicklaus?

Yes. Ishioka was designed in Japan by the King of Golf, Jack Nicklaus himself, who called it one of the best courses in Japan; it has been selected for the Rolex World's Top 1000. It plays 7,071 yards, par 72, and has hosted multiple Japan men's tour events (Acom International, 1999–2006) and, recently, the co-sanctioned European/Japan Tour ISPS Handa Championship. You can see the green from every tee; the design is fair but makes you use all fourteen clubs. It is GRAND PGM tier and the home course of the Tsukuba Line.

Q5: What makes Miho Golf Club special?

Miho was designed by master architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. on a "risk and reward" theme, opening in 1993 at 7,010 yards, and is certified a "world-standard" course by the Japan Golf Tour Organisation (JGTO). With only 15 metres of elevation change across the course, it's laced with strategic water and bunker traps. It has hosted the 1998 Japan Women's PGA Championship and the 2003 Japan PGA Championship — one of the few courses to host both men's and women's majors — plus the HEIWA · PGM Championship in 2013 and 2014. GRAND PGM tier.

Q6: What kind of course is The Golf Club Ryugasaki?

Ryugasaki is a championship course under GRAND PGM, designed by master architect Shunsuke Kato, set across 220,000 tsubo of grounds with holes over 600 yards and a layout built on precise strategy — wide and grand in scale. Bookable through systems such as Rakuten GORA. (Note: it is a different course from the Inoue Seiichi–designed Ryugasaki CC of the same name; we arrange the PGM course.

Q7: How close is PGM Sosei Golf Club to Narita Airport?

Sosei sits just about 5 km from the Narita IC — among the closest to the airport on this line. Originally the Narita Country Club, designed in 1964 by Issuke Izumi and later expanded to 27 holes, it carries over half a century of history and has hosted the Japan Open and other major championships. Pine-separated fairways and natural ponds make it richly strategic. GRAND PGM tier, and its airport proximity makes it ideal for the start or end of a trip.

Q8: How many days and rounds is the trip? How is it arranged?

The standard is five days, three rounds. Arrive at Narita and check in on day one; play three rounds on days two to four; depart on day five around your flight time. Each day is a short transfer from a single base hotel — one hotel throughout, no packing and re-checking in.

Q9: How do I choose between the Narita Line and the Tsukuba Line?

Decide whether your base sits near Narita or near Tsukuba. The Narita Line centres on a PGA Tour stage (Narashino) and easy airport access; the Tsukuba Line centres on master-designed courses (Nicklaus, RTJ Jr., Kato) and a density of top courses. Once the base is set, the right courses and short drives fall into place.

Q10: If my flight on the last day is late, can I add another round?

Yes. On a late departure with time to spare, you can add a fourth round — for example Glen Oaks, about twenty minutes from Narita Airport — then head straight to the airport. On an early flight, if there's a gap before departure, you can stop at Shisui Premium Outlets on the way.

Q11: How much is it for a party of four? What's included?

The reference price for a party of four is from ¥238,000 per person (five days, three rounds, one hotel throughout). It includes three GRAND-tier course arrangements, a licensed green-plate vehicle with full chauffeur service, hotel accommodation, bag and luggage handling, English/Chinese communication, and itinerary planning. The actual price is confirmed by date, courses, hotel grade, room type and flight times.
