Sanctuary Golf's 15th Anniversary Celebration

Sanctuary Golf, a name synonymous with innovative approaches in the golfing realm, is thrilled to announce its 15th anniversary celebration, dubbed the "Birth Celebration Campaign." This exciting initiative runs from November 1, 2025, to February 28, 2026, in partnership with Windsor Park Golf & Country Club located in Ibaraki Prefecture. The unique aspect of this campaign is its unprecedented offering: Sanctuary Golf members can enjoy free play on weekdays throughout the campaign period, marking a groundbreaking move in the industry.

A Vision for the Future

Since its inception, Sanctuary Golf has eagerly pursued the motto of creating an accessible golfing environment for beginners. The organization has successfully established over 20 facilities in urban centers such as Roppongi, Shinjuku, and Yurakucho, welcoming a total of over 50,000 members. Sanctuary Golf has played a significant role in reshaping the golfing landscape by focusing specifically on beginner golfers.

This milestone marks the onset of an exciting new phase as CEO Junichi Hanyu stated, "What we want to develop is not merely a practice space but a golfing environment that integrates into life itself." The goal is to design a more comprehensive golf experience that fosters emotional connections to nature and camaraderie with friends, further emphasizing the importance of holistic well-being.

The New Collaboration Model

Windsor Park Golf & Country Club offers a magnificent natural environment that makes it a popular choice among Sanctuary Golf members. The collaboration for the free-play initiative attracts attention as a fresh regional development model, promoting a flow of city dwellers to rural areas, thereby supporting local economies by encouraging the use of local accommodations and eateries.
