The Tom Watson Golf Course in Phoenix Seagaia Resort (Miyazaki City) opened “Starry Night Golf” late night golfing hours on July 20. It’s the first time for Miyazaki Prefecture to offer night golf. For now, the night games are only available for nine half-round holes, but there are plans to extend game hours for all eighteen holes starting mid September. Night golf offers a cooler, more comfortable game minus worries of sunburn; a pleasant breeze drifts over the green from the beach. Players can also get a better view of their golf ball flying through the air as it contrasts against the dark night’s sky – another advantage of night golf! 287 lights in place ensure that the balls are easy to find, unless they land in the pine forest. There are some special night rules/penalties – so check before you start!
