A Pete Dye course an hour from Tokyo, for the price of a nice dinner. PGM Maria Golf Links is one of Japan's rare genuine links-style layouts: rumpled fairways, pot bunkers, wooden bulkheads and diabolical angles, all rolling toward views of Tokyo Bay. Dye's signature visual intimidation is everywhere — the course looks terrifying from the tee and plays fairer than it looks, exactly as he intended.
Because it is run by PGM, one of Japan's biggest course operators, conditioning is dependable and visitor access is straightforward, with weekday green fees from around ¥15,000. Wind off the bay changes the course completely from day to day, which is precisely what links golf should do. For traveling golfers who have played parkland courses all week, Maria is the perfect change of rhythm.
