Chiba Golf Courses

As highlighted above, there are many top golf courses in Chiba and it can be difficult to know where to begin. However, one that should definitely make the list is Shibayama Golf Club. This 18 hole golf course was designed by David Muirhead and plays to 6,580 yards from the back tee. The golf course merges beautifully with the surrounding environment and looks very natural throughout. The clever design of the 18 holes means despite being a relatively short golf course, the strategic challenge is high and provides a test for players of all abilities.

The large undulating greens make putting a very important component when trying to score low on this splendid golf course.
