The Inaugural Niseko Pro Invitational

by | Jun 6, 2012 | News, Travel | 0 comments

JSekka recently sent out a newsletter regarding The Inaugural Niseko Pro Invitational. Hokkaido has long been a secret hot spot for Japanese golfers because it has some great courses – without the long lines and high costs of the courses in southern Japan. Nowhere is this more evident that at New Chitose Airport during the Spring and Summers months where you’ll see copious amounts of travellers with their golf bags and paraphernalia.

Niseko has several golf courses including Niseko Golf & Resort, Niseko Golf Course, Niseko Tokyu Golf Course and Niseko Village Golf Course that have long been popular with the Japanese.

Over the past few years, and championed by the guys from Niseko WOW and Niseko Golf Academy, the amount of international golfers holidaying in Niseko has been steadily increasing. And this year we get the first Niseko Pro Invitational Golf Event, sponsored by Niseko Black, Niseko WOW and The Vale Niseko, which will be enjoyed by Japanese and international golfers playing together.
