Golf course in Tokyo

[em69]

Check out this course in Tokyo. That is definately a manmade island. Imagine the cost of a green fee.

Why would the green fee be high?

cause its tokyo, some of the most expensive land in the world there...

I'd expect that a project like that would cost a large fortune to build.

A guy I work with in the oil industry just came back from Dubai and said the golf wasn't ridiculous for pricing. They even have a lit golf course there.

I don't think Tokyo would be any more expensive.

I have friends who teach english in Tokyo and apparently the golf is in the 200 U.S.$ range at most spots.

Being that it is a man made island just outside downtown Tokyo, I assume the costs would be extravagant.

And such a value too, look at the variety and the spacious beauty to be found on that course.

"So, another par four. It's, well...pretty straight just like the last umpteenth holes."

Everything golf related in Japan is expensive.

The last time I was there I checked out a golf store in the shopping district.

Regular R7s were going for about a $300 premium over what they cost here.

Then there were the customized clubs, Honmas, etc. I never thought I'd see a $1500 US driver.
