Okinoerabu Golf Club is an 18-hole course located in Serikaku, Chinamachi, Oshima-gun, on Okinoerabu Island in Kagoshima Prefecture, part of Japan's southern Amami island chain.

For visitors combining a trip to Okinoerabu's coral-reef diving sites or subtropical scenery with a round of golf, this course offers an accessible, low-cost option on an island otherwise known for its caves and beaches rather than golf.
