Karuizawa Resort is a member of the Taiheiyo Club, which comprises 17 of Japan's top golf courses spread across different parts of the country, with several around Tokyo. The Club's flagship layout is the Gotemba course, located on the southeastern flank of Mount Fuji in the Shizuoka Prefecture.
In close proximity to the Karuizawa Resort is Mount Asama, the most active volcano on Honshu, the main island of Japan. This impressive volcano stands 2,568 m (8,425 ft) above sea level and continues to erupt on a relatively frequent basis (the last significant eruption occurring in 2009).

| Walton Heath Golf Club (Old course): Top golfers and golf writers have long acknowledged Walton Heath as one of the finest heathland courses in the British Isles. In fact there are two courses here, the Old and New. Read more... |
| The Welcombe Hotel Spa & Golf Club: provides an excellent Stay & Play opportunity, just a mile out of town from William Shakespear's birthplace in the centre of Stratford.

Royal Ostend Golf Club: represents Belgium’s only real "beside-the-seaside" links golf course (others like Royal Zoute are located a little way inland). Here at Ostend many holes make excellent use of an impressive area of sand dunes. From the long par-4 5th through to the par-5 14th, you play across fabulously open and gently undulating golfing terrain, with few trees, fine sea views and probably a bit of North Sea wind thrown in for good measure.
