The Tokyo Golfer

Interested in golf lessons in Tokyo? This is the perfect place to begin.

The Tokyo Golfer Project

The mission of The Tokyo Golfer is to provide a base in Tokyo for golfers to learn and improve their skills. I have been a golf professional and a member of the Australian PGA for more than 20 years. Coaching and playing the game is my greatest strength. I coach beginners through to tour professionals so if you are interested to learn from a proper professional then I am happy to help. Coaching golf is a true vocation so it is imperative to learn from a professional who can not only teach the game but is able to demonstrate at an elite level.

I am also passionate about helping golfers understand what a wonderful place Japan is to play golf. I want to provide the necessary information for golfers to make intelligent decisions on traversing this cultural golfing wonderland. I have no financial gain in providing this information but am keen on ensuring guests play the right courses (at the right prices) and are provided an authentic Japanese golf experience. I have included information on the best places to play, where to stay and my thoughts on the best transport options.

If you click on the “Taiheiyo Club” tab I have written a comprehensive guide on each of our 18 courses as well as an introduction to our hotels and town club in Ginza. The rise of Taiheiyo Club is a story worth telling as the transformation of a boutique Japanese golf company into a global brand is noteworthy.
