Designed by legendary golfer Tom Watson, the Tom Watson Golf course close to Miyazaki City is an absolute triumph in course design.
Somewhat over-shadowed by near neighbour the Phoenix Golf Resort, The Tom Watson Golf Course quickly gained recognition as one of the must play courses in the area.
Carved from the native Japanese pine forest the course demands accuracy and length from the tee and nerves of steel for the approach shots.
The course is generally flat, with little change in elevation but the imagination and skill of Tom Watson has created an exceptional layout that will test every level of golfer.
Fairways are narrow, framed by Japanese pines and protected by the fiendishly positioned bunkers, which always seem to be in play.
The large greens, presented in perfect condition throughout the year, are well-protected and require solid iron shots to find the best position from which to putt.
Bunkers are large and imposing, only adding to the already difficult layout of the course.
Buggies can be used on the fairways which helps speed up play.
The course doesn´t have its own clubhouse, but a free shuttle us service back to the Sheraton Grande Ocean resort, where you can find the clubhouse is only 5 minutes away.
