Show Golf Satsuma Golf & Oncheon Resort Popularity

'Japan over Korea.'

Satsuma Golf & Oncheon Resort, acquired by Show Golf, will operate indoor and outdoor swimming pools starting from mid-this month.

The number of golfers visiting Japan is increasing. The continued weak yen has reduced the economic burden. Recently, with the heatwave intensifying and the rainy season beginning, people are looking for places with good weather. In the southern region of Japan, the rainy season ends by early July, marking the start of the full golf season.

Recently, Satsuma Golf & Onsen Resort in Japan, acquired by Show Golf, has become popular. Summer reservation rates have increased by 157% compared to the previous year. Located at an altitude of 500 meters, the temperature is similar to that at the summit of Taebaeksan in Korea. The average temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for rounds. Additionally, from mid-July, the resort operates both indoor and outdoor swimming pools. It takes 1 hour and 30 minutes from Incheon to Kagoshima Airport. Korean Air operates flights three times a week, and from September, the frequency will increase to five times a week.

Golf courses in Japan can be used at more reasonable prices than domestic ones. At Satsuma Golf & Onsen Resort, carts are allowed on the fairways. The Minus 5 program is also receiving positive feedback from golfers. The program means reducing your golf score by 5 strokes during the resort trip, lowering your skin age by 5 years in the hot springs, and relieving stress with fresh food in a pristine natural environment.

The Minus 5 program is well-structured. You can receive lessons on every aspect of your golf swing. After the lesson, you immediately play a round to experience the effect of lowering your score in real golf. If you make a reservation before your trip, you will participate in the lesson program prepared by Satsuma Golf & Onsen Resort. Show Golf stated, "We will continue to strive to satisfy consumers through various attempts."
