Shima Seaside Country Club

Shima Seaside Country Club has operated as a semi-private links-style course in Itoshima's Shima district since 1977, playing 6,614 yards from the back tees with a 73.1 rating and 123 slope over bent grass greens, and tee options ranging down to 5,491 yards for a broader range of playing ability. As the name suggests, the course sits close to the coast on the Itoshima peninsula, giving several holes a genuinely seaside character with open, wind-exposed fairways more typical of links golf than the tree-lined parkland layouts common further inland. Golf carts are included with the green fee, a detail that simplifies pricing for visiting groups, and caddies are also available. Practice facilities include a driving range, bunker practice area, and pitching and chipping zone. Itoshima's peninsula has become one of Fukuoka's most popular weekend and lifestyle destinations in recent years, and Shima Seaside joins Ito Golf Club, Nijo Country Club, Fukuoka Raizan Golf Club, and The Queen's Hill Golf Club as one of several courses drawing golfers to the area. Golfers planning an Itoshima golf getaway through CoGolfers can add Shima Seaside to their list of peninsula courses to compare, and the community is a good place to find others heading to the increasingly popular area.
