Public Golf Urasoe ☆ Follow

Public Golf Urasoe is a nine-hole golf course located in Urasoe, Okinawa, designed to accommodate quick play sessions for golfers with limited time. The layout is engineered to simulate the experience of a full 18-hole long course, specifically allowing players to begin their round from the second shot on the back nine. This design philosophy aims to provide a convenient and enjoyable experience for everyone from beginners to advanced players, fitting easily into lunch breaks, after-work hours, or sightseeing schedules. The course features a mix of short and mid-range holes with a total front nine yardage of 1,124 yards and a par of 28. The terrain includes significant elevation changes, with several uphill and downhill challenges. The third hole stands out as the only mid-length hole on the front nine, offering a slightly uphill approach where players can attempt to gain distance for a birdie opportunity. In contrast, the fourth hole is a short downhill shot where the green is sloped away from the tee, requiring players to attack from the front. Key characteristics of the course include large greens, bunkers, and water hazards that demand careful strategy. The sixth hole is a downhill par-3 that requires crossing water, with players needing to account for wind conditions. The seventh hole features a long, narrow green, forcing golfers to select their club based on the specific pin placement. The front nine concludes with the ninth hole, a par-3 where the final score often depends on reading the green's undulations for the putt. The course is situated at 5-51-1 Nohara, Urasoe City, Okinawa, and operates with extended hours from 7:00 AM to 8:45 PM. It caters to various groups, including seniors and juniors, and offers special rates for competitions of twelve or more players. The facility provides rental clubs, shoes, and lockers, with hand-pulled carts available for free use, reinforcing its accessibility as a public facility.
