Golf in Japan


Hey everyone! I’m planning to play some golf when I’m in Japan, I’m planning on booking a slot at one of the Prince Hotel courses. I’ve gone back and forth over email with the golf staff a couple times, but I don’t want to keep bugging them with questions as they’ve already been accommodating with translating their emails.

1. Golf attire – what is appropriate? I was told jeans would not be acceptable. Is a collared short sleeve polo shirt and slacks ok? I did find [this website](https://www.gogolfing.com.au/blogs/your-guide-to-japanese-golf-etiquette) with some information, does this seem accurate?

2. Golf shoes – the staff told me they have shoe rentals available, but I have pretty small feet and I’m not sure if they’ll have anything in my size. Are there any stores in Tokyo and Osaka you would recommend for finding golf shoes?

3. General etiquette and tips – they gave me some general rules for playing on the course. Is there any other golf etiquette that I should be aware of ahead of time? Is there any standard for behavior that might be different than there is overseas?

Thanks so much for your help!
