Pacific Golf Management Co., Ltd. (PGM) is one of the largest golf course management companies in Japan, owning and operating 150 courses across the country from Hokkaido to Okinawa. As part of its efforts to counter against the extreme heat of recent summers, PGM has been expanding the number of its golf courses that are open at night. With seven of its courses already open at night, expansion of the program to courses including the Imperial Country Club (Inashiki City, Ibaraki Prefecture), Tajimi Kita Golf Club (Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture), Mukonodai Golf Course (Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture), and Fukuoka Lakeside Country Club (Iizuka City, Fukuoka Prefecture), has brought the total number of courses open at night to 12. Since operating the scheme, it has been noted that the opening of the courses at night has helped to attract a broader range of customers, with an increasing proportion of younger people and women compared to the usual daytime clients. To further increase familiarity with the scheme for all, PGM has standardized the designation of the program as "Night Golf", seeking to encourage yet more new golfers. A major attraction of night golf is the fantastically illuminated atmosphere, which provides an ambience different from that which is enjoyed in the daytime. In addition to providing a beautiful setting, temperatures are cooler and more comfortable than the daytime, and with no need to worry about UV rays, it is particularly good for those who may be concerned about sunburn.
The quiet and the tranquillity of the course at night can also help improve concentration and provide a different challenge, while another advantage is the possibility of playing after work and not being limited to daylight hours. Installed in 2024, the lighting scheme incorporates the latest LED lighting technology and delivers a high design illuminance of over 150ℓx in the tee area, over 50ℓx along the fairways, and over 150ℓx on the greens, making it one of the brightest in Japan. The flight of the ball and the undulations of the green can be seen more clearly than ever, allowing for a comfortable playing environment.
Benefiting from great accessibility with its location around 40 minutes by car from Hakata Station and Fukuoka Airport, the Fukuoka Lakeside Country Club is surrounded by an abundance of nature and gentle terrain next to Kuboshiro Dam and Kuboshiro Dam Lake. The hillside course encourages a strategic approach as - in keeping with the inclusion of "Lakeside" in its name - it features a number of ponds of various sizes around the 12 holes, making it a challenging course popular across people of all ages. Fukuoka Lakeside Country Club commenced its night golf offering in April 2025, with LEDioc FLOOD AVANT class 400 floodlights installed to illuminate the course and create a nighttime setting where play can be enjoyed in comfort with just the right amount of brightness, from tee shots to approach shots and putting; added variety is brought to the scenery through the incorporation of colored effects.
