What makes Onna Village ideal
- Golf and your resort in the same neighborhood
- Courses offer a breathtaking view of the East China Sea, letting you golf in Okinawa’s coastal beauty
- Pick what suits you—golf, a relaxed pace, or a mix of both
PGM Golf Resort Okinawa | Start here if you’re unsure
First time choosing a course in Onna Village? PGM Golf Resort Okinawa is the smart starting point.
Perched on rolling hills with sweeping East China Sea views, it balances spectacular scenery with a solid course layout. All 27 holes were redesigned and renovated, the clubhouse is brand new, and it’s hosted the domestic men’s tour event “HEIWA・PGM CHAMPIONSHIP” for three consecutive years (2017–2019).
For visitors, that track record matters. You’re looking at a confident first choice you won’t regret—strong visuals, solid layout, and the kind of polish that comes from hosting professional events. It’s especially ideal for first-timers who want a dependable, well-rounded experience.

The Atta Terrace Golf Resort | For those who want golf and stay to blend seamlessly
The Atta Terrace Golf Resort appeals to visitors who care less about course size and more about a quiet, cohesive experience where your stay and round of golf flow together naturally.
The course features East China Sea views, varied fairways, and a resort atmosphere surrounded by beautiful mountains. It won’t bowl you over on first glance, but that’s exactly why it works so well for trips where you want to slow down and soak in a more relaxed pace in Onna Village.
While PGM is the all-around safe pick, The Atta Terrace is for travelers who value the mood of the whole day. It’s ideal if you want not just good golf, but a beautifully put-together experience from start to finish.
Chura Orchard Golf Club | For those seeking both views and a course with character
Chura Orchard Golf Club is for golfers who want more than pretty views—they want a course with personality and challenge.
Sweeping East China Sea vistas, varied elevation changes with uphill and downhill shots, valley carries, and an 18-hole par-72 layout that really makes you think. The course has hosted the “Daikyo Open,” adding real competitive credibility to the design.
This isn’t a course where the view alone makes it feel nice. It’s built for players who’ll remember both the scenery and the challenge after you leave.
