An excellent introduction to golfing in Mie with four rounds of golf at some of the best golf courses.
The natural terrain of the area dictates the style of Mie Country Club but clever design and attention to detail have blended together seamlessly to create a course that sits perfectly within its natural environment.
Excellent Golf Club Ise Ootori Course became famous worldwide for the golf match between Tiger Woods and Hideki Maruyama.
Tsu Country Club has some very interesting design features which include the incredible brick-faced water hazards that create a wonderful visual impact, drawing the golfers eye to the water hazard.
Chunichi Country Club is mostly flat throughout but the trees and forest which surround the golf course make for a strategic test for players of all abilities.
