Getting There

Chisan Country Club Moriyama is located in Nagasaki Prefecture, Kyushu. The most convenient gateway is Nagasaki Airport or Nagasaki Station. From there, the course is accessible via the Nagasaki Expressway — most visitors find a rental car the most practical option for flexibility throughout the day.

If you are combining golf with sightseeing, Nagasaki’s historic Dejima waterfront and Glover Garden make it an easy addition to your itinerary. Allow extra time for scenic detours, especially in spring and autumn when the roads through the prefecture are at their most beautiful.

Practical Information for Visitors

• Green fees: Typical all-in rates (including cart and lunch) are around ¥15,000–¥25,000 per person. This is a premium course — book well in advance and expect first-class facilities and service.
• Booking: Reserve in advance via GDO or GORA by Rakuten. Both platforms accept international credit cards. Weekend slots book up quickly — aim for at least one week ahead.
• Caddies: Caddie availability varies by day and season. Confirm when booking whether a caddie is assigned or optional. Caddie fees (typically ¥4,000–¥6,000 per bag) are paid separately at the end of the round.
• Shoes: Soft spikes or spikeless shoes are mandatory. Metal spikes are not permitted at any golf course in Japan.
• Dress code: Collared shirts and non-denim trousers or tailored shorts are standard. Check the course website for specific requirements.
• Lunch: A sit-down lunch break at the 9-hole turn is included in almost all green fee packages. This is a non-negotiable part of the Japanese golf day and is one of its genuine pleasures.

When to Play

Spring (late March – May) and Autumn (October – November) are the prime seasons for golf in Kyushu. Temperatures are comfortable, course conditions are at their best, and the surrounding scenery — cherry blossoms in spring, foliage in autumn — makes for a memorable round.

Summer brings heat and humidity to most of Kyushu. Early morning tee times (from 6:00 am at many courses) allow you to complete the round before the afternoon heat peaks. Pack sunscreen, a hat, and plan for significant fluid intake during the round.

Winter sees lower green fees and easy availability. Conditions vary depending on how far north the course is — coastal courses in Kyushu are often playable through January and February, while higher-elevation layouts may close or operate on dormant-grass conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to speak Japanese to play at Chisan Country Club Moriyama?

Not necessarily. Most course check-in procedures are manageable with a booking confirmation number and basic gestures. Having your booking details printed or clearly displayed on your phone helps the reception staff process your arrival efficiently. A caddie or starter will guide you through the day’s logistics on the course.

Can I rent clubs at Chisan Country Club Moriyama?

Rental clubs are available at most courses in Japan, including the majority of courses in Nagasaki Prefecture. Contact the course directly when booking to confirm availability and reserve in advance if possible, particularly on weekends. Expect to pay ¥2,000–¥5,000 for a full rental set.

Is Nagasaki worth visiting for golf specifically?

Kyushu offers a compelling combination of quality golf and sightseeing. Combining a round at Chisan Country Club Moriyama with local highlights — Nagasaki’s historic Dejima waterfront and Glover Garden — makes for one of the more complete Japan travel experiences available to the visiting golfer.
