Sanctuary Golf’s New Venture in Shinjuku
Sanctuary Golf, a prominent golf school known for its dedication to beginners, is excited to announce the grand opening of its new location,
Golf Station Shinjuku by Sanctuary, scheduled for
July 1, 2025. Situated just a two-minute walk from the west exit of Shinjuku Station, this facility aims to bring fresh energy and a state-of-the-art golfing experience to the area by reviving a previously operating location under the same name. Leveraging both modern equipment and strong brand recognition, this new venue is designed to enhance the golfing experience for novice players.
Addressing the Succession Challenge in Golf Schools
The golfing community has faced a significant challenge in recent years, primarily the lack of successors in privately owned golf schools. Sanctuary Golf is tackling this issue by utilizing its operational expertise gained from managing over 20 locations to promote business succession actively. The opening of the Shinjuku West location is not merely a new store launch; it represents a meaningful commitment to preserving the local golf culture for future generations.
Expanding Options for Golf Enthusiasts in Shinjuku
With the inclusion of the Shinjuku West location, Sanctuary Golf now proudly operates three schools in the Shinjuku area:
- - Shinjuku East Store: Located just one minute from Shinjuku Station, this flagship store boasts over ten years of successful operation.
- - Shinjuku West Store: A mere two-minute walk from the station, equipped with professional-grade 'Trackman' systems at every station.
- - Sasazuka Store: A community-friendly facility open 24 hours, featuring the latest 'GDR PLUS' simulators.
Sanctuary Golf members benefit from the unique opportunity to utilize all three locations, allowing them to practice in environments that cater to their specific goals and preferences.
