Bell Beach Golf Club ☆ Follow

Bell Beach Golf Club is a 18-hole, par 72 course located in Motobu, Okinawa, situated along the coast on the Motobu Peninsula. The facility is positioned near the Seto Ohashi Bridge, accessible via a drive from Naha or the Yunda Interchange on the Okinawa Expressway. The course is designed to offer uninterrupted ocean views from every single hole, integrating the fairways and greens into a coastal landscape that overlooks the sea. The layout is divided into an outward and inward nine, with yardages varying by tee box. The regular tees stretch from 3,021 yards on the front nine to 3,176 yards on the back nine. The front nine features a mix of par-4s and par-5s, including a short par-3 first hole at 357 yards and a demanding 503-yard fifth hole. The back nine presents a more varied distance profile, highlighted by two short par-3s: the 15th at 151 yards and the 18th at 135 yards. The par-5s on the back nine, particularly the 509-yard 16th, provide significant length challenges compared to the shorter par-4s that dominate the middle holes. The course caters to different skill levels with distinct tee placements for regular and ladies' play, with the ladies' tees reducing the total yardage to approximately 5,457 yards. The design encourages both recreational play and more serious competition, with the coastal setting providing a consistent visual backdrop throughout the round. The facility includes a clubhouse with dining and locker room facilities, and offers helicopter transfer services from Naha Airport for premium access.
