According to data on the number of visitors for 2024 released by Japan's Kyushu Golf Federation on the 19th, Satsuma Golf Resort ranked first among 192 golf courses in the Kyushu region with a 113.9% year-on-year growth rate. The second place is Okinawa PGM Golf Resort, and the third place is Kumamoto Yatsushiro Golf Club.
Japan's Kagoshima Satsuma Golf Resort is the place where a domestic company, Show Golf, acquired a 100% stake in Daiwa Securities Group, one of Japan's top 100 companies, in 2023. It is also a hot topic in Japan as it ranked first in Kyushu's overall growth rate in about a year after the acquisition. The way Korean companies operate is also attracting attention.
The Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei), Japan's leading economic magazine, reported on the situation of domestic golf in the country on the 22nd and showed interest in the operating system and service of Satsuma Golf Resort.
The media reported that many golf courses are struggling as the number of withdrawal or recess members increases amid the increase in the number of elderly people in Japan. Satsuma Resort was mentioned as an example of success in attracting customers despite the crisis in the Japanese golf industry.

It is evaluated that customized service that satisfies both Korean and Japanese visitors was effective. About 10 Korean employees reside in the resort, and Korean information boards are installed to minimize inconvenience to Korean visitors. In addition, Japanese visitors are also very satisfied with the introduction of a Korean operating system in the resort to quickly deal with customer requirements. By simplifying the analog-style Japanese resort check-in method to QR codes, the check-in time was drastically reduced from 20 minutes to less than 30 seconds.

Currently, Show Golf is reportedly considering acquiring an additional golf course in Kumamoto, Japan.
Satsuma Golf Resort is Kagoshima's representative membership golf course and is the largest among Japanese golf resorts acquired by a domestic company. It has more than 70 rooms, various sports complex facilities such as a tennis court, a soccer field, and a swimming pool, and a natural open-air hot spring considered one of Japan's top three hot springs.
Satsuma Golf Resort has held various golf competitions over the past 30 years. You can enjoy a variety of food at a resort restaurant using local ingredients and relax at a 100% natural open-air hot spring where you can relieve fatigue after the round in excellent course management.
