It's Japanese golf etiquette,Hope this helps.

1. Punctuality: 

Japanese golf courses have strict tee times. Be sure to arrive at the reception 30 minutes in advance to check in. The tee time interval is 7~8 minutes for each group. Be at the tee box 10 minutes in advance to prepare. If you are late, please contact the golf course in advance to explain that the tee time may need to be changed. Depending on the situation of the day, it may be impossible to arrange new tee time again and a fine will also be incurred.

2. Keep Quiet: 

Please set your mobile phone to silent mode. Some clubs have special phone calling areas. It is forbidden to make phone calls, voice calls, and send messages during the swing. Please do not talk when other golfers are preparing for the swing.

3. About Smoking: 

No smoking is allowed in the golf course except for the tee box and designated places. If there is an ashtray in the golf cart, golfers can smoke while sitting in the golf cart, but not on the tee box or on the fairway. After smoking, the cigarette butts should be thrown into the ashtray .

4. About Meal: 

According to your golfing plan (except for fast play plan), there is usually a lunch time between the first 9 holes and the last 9 holes, which is usually about 45 minutes. Please pay attention to your back 9 tee time and do not be late.

Before entering the restaurant, be sure to take off your hat and hang it on the coat rack at the entrance of the restaurant. The restaurant and the club are almost all carpeted. Please be sure to rinse the soles of your shoes when you entering the club.

5. About Clothing: 

Please wear formal golf clothing to play golf. Please do not wear uncollared T-shirts, jeans, sneakers, or sandals. Please wear sports shirts with collars. Most golf courses require that tattoos be covered with clothing before entering the course to play. If you are banned to play golf due to unqualified clothing, according to the policy of the golf course, play fee may not be refunded. (*Some famous golf courses have more strict requirements. BaiGolf will note if there are additional requirements. , you may be required to wear a suit or a collared jacket when entering the clubhouse in some famous golf clubs. Players wearing shorts or skirts must wear close to the knees. long socks are required if they are too short.)

6. Locker Room Regulations: 

please take off your shoes before entering if there is a marked shoe removal area at the door. After taking out your clean clothes from the locker, be sure not to take off your clothes at this time. Unlike the locker rooms in other country, the locker rooms in Japan usually have a "transition area" between the locker and the shower area. Put the changed clothes in the box after taking off your clothes in the transition area next to the bathroom. Take a small towel and then enter the bathroom. Almost all Japanese golf courses are equipped with hot spring baths or soaking pools. For hygiene and courtesy, please be sure to shower and rinse your whole body before entering the soaking pool. Towels cannot be soaked in the pool. According to regulations, each person can only use one towel. In addition, according to Japanese customs, golfers with tattoos are temporarily not allowed to use the bathing facilities.

7. Notes During Playing: 

For general visitors, only the standard tee (white tee normally) is allowed. If you need to tee off from other tee, please contact marshal or operation staff. BaiGolf customer service could also help you. Please complete the game at the speed specified by the club, especially when there are guests following closely behind. Normally the club requires 9 holes to be completed within 2 hours and 15 minutes. After playing 9 holes, there will be a 45 minutes break (except for fast play), and guests can go to the restaurant for lunch. Once you teed off, the fee will be charged according to 18 holes. No 9-hole price. Please be aware of this. Please repair the green marks and clean the sand surface with a spike rake after playing in the bunker.

8. Payment Methods at Golf Course: Cash(Japanese yen), Credit Card(Visa, MasterCard, JCB).
