Quick answers
- Can overseas visitors book golf in Japan?
- Overseas visitors can request tee times at courses that accept them. Golf Caddie Japan checks the course's visitor conditions and availability, handles reservation communication in Japanese and confirms the agreed booking in English. Some clubs require a member introduction; not every course or date can be booked.
- How much does it cost?
- Our fee is a flat ¥6,000 per player per round, paid by card after you approve a written quote. Green fees (typically ¥12,500–¥30,000) are paid directly to the course on the day. There is no markup on green fees.
- How do I book?
- Send us your dates, group size, budget and where you're staying. We reply within 24 hours. We then call the courses to check real availability, and come back with a recommended course and an itemised quote. Once you approve, we book the tee time, rental clubs and caddie, and send an English day guide.
- Is it worth playing golf in Japan?
- Yes. Japanese courses are famously well-kept, and green fees are lower than most visitors expect — around ¥12,500 on a weekday, lunch usually included, against ¥25,000+ for a comparable course in the US or Europe. Add mountain views, immaculate greens and a hot bath after the round.
- Is golf popular in Japan?
- Very. Japan has more than 2,000 courses and the second-largest golfing population in the world after the United States. Tee sheets fill early on weekends and right through the autumn season, which is why booking ahead — in Japanese — matters.
- Are golf clubs in Japan cheaper?
- Japanese-made clubs are often cheaper bought in Japan than abroad. If you'd rather travel light, almost every course rents sets for roughly ¥3,000–5,000 per round, and we arrange them with your booking — just tell us right- or left-handed.
The wall between you and the round
Japan has 2,000+ spectacular courses.
Booking one shouldn't require reading kanji.
Most Japanese golf courses take reservations only in Japanese — by phone, or on booking sites that need a local address. That's the wall between you and some of the best-value championship golf on earth. We're the caddie who carries that part for you.
How it works

In their words
Golfers who let us book their round
Booking golf tee times in Japan as a foreigner can be incredibly difficult, but this company made the entire experience effortless. Their communication was outstanding—they responded quickly, answered every question, and kept us informed every step of the way. They handled all of the scheduling and logistics with incredible efficiency, making the entire process completely stress-free.
Our family of four had an unforgettable day on the course. The golf was fantastic, and the traditional lunch served between the front and back nine was an amazing experience that made the day even more memorable. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.
If you're traveling to Japan and want to play golf, I can't recommend this service enough. It is by far the easiest and most convenient way to book tee times, and I truly don't think we could have done it without them. Any foreign golfer visiting Japan should absolutely use this service. We'll definitely be booking through them again on our next trip!
Enjoying the golf experience in Japan was on our to-do list when we traveled to Japan. However due to a fluid schedule we were unable to book in advance. In Japan we tried contacting several courses directly without success due to language barrier complicated by our need to rent clubs. We went to Golf Caddie who quickly responded with several options for us. Their communication was quick and helpful and we were able to enjoy a day of golf in Osaka.
