Phoenix Country Club
Twenty-seven holes of pine, ocean breeze and tournament history.
Phoenix has hosted Japan's most prestigious invitational since the early seventies, which means most international visitors have watched these holes on television long before they play them. Black pines line every fairway, the Pacific sits just beyond the dunes, and Miyazaki's mild winter makes it a genuine year-round destination.

- Host of Japan's best-known invitational tournament
