Golf in Japan is one of the most popular sports. Once upon a time, it was a really difficult
for a foreigner to attain a membership of
golf courses in Japan .
Japanese golf clubs didn't want foreigner members. But now things are changing. In recent times, foreign investors have largely entered in Japanese clubs for investment opportunities. The membership fees for
Japanese golf courses are very high as the space for golf courses is limited in Japan. However, in Japan you can find many public driving ranges throughout the country where
golf lovers can practice without having a club membership.
