Miyazaki Phoenix Country Club

Miyazaki Phoenix Country Club is a highly-regarded golf course located in the PHOENIX SEAGAIA RESORT in Miyazaki, Japan. The course has been ranked 67th on the US Golf Digest’s 100 Best Courses Outside The United States, and has been rated one of the leading courses in Japan by The Rolex WORLD’s TOP 1000 GOLF COURSES. It has hosted the International Tour DUNLOP PHOENIX TOURNAMENT every year since 1974, attracting some of the world’s top players.

The course consists of 27 holes and is relatively flat, with only 77 bunkers and 4 water hazards. It is separated by black pine trees, which create aerial hazards in some areas, making it a highly strategic course. It is easily accessible from Miyazaki City and Miyazaki Airport, and is located within the PHOENIX SEAGAIA RESORT, along with the Tom Watson Golf Course.

Visitors can use the clubhouse’s restaurant, lockers, showers, and stores, and can stay at the nearby Sheraton Grande Ocean Resort. It is a membership club, but non-members can book and play: there is a visitor reservation system on the resort’s site, and golf-only bookings are also taken by phone on 0985-21-1301 (08:00–17:00), with stay-and-play packages on 0985-21-1113.

Rounds here are walked with a caddie as standard. Riding carts are the exception rather than the rule — they are offered only from June to September, at an extra charge. Proper golf attire is required, and players are expected to wear a blazer or tailored jacket in the clubhouse, except during the summer months.

Overall, Miyazaki Phoenix Country Club offers a challenging and enjoyable golfing experience in a beautiful and convenient location.
