PGM Maria Golf Links

PGM Maria Golf Links is an 18-hole, par-72 seaside course in Kisarazu, Chiba Prefecture, opened in 1992. The course was designed by Pete Dye and plays to 6,833 yards from the back tees, a length that reflects Dye's characteristic emphasis on strategic shot-making over sheer distance alone. Being a seaside layout, coastal wind is a factor course architects like Dye typically build into hole strategy rather than treat as incidental. Golfers arrive by car via the Ken-O Expressway, exiting at Kisarazu-Higashi Interchange about 5 kilometers from the club, or by train to JR Uchibo Line's Kisarazu Station followed by roughly a 35-minute taxi ride. Caddies are optional rather than mandatory, giving golfers the choice of a self-navigated round or one supported by local caddy knowledge of the layout. Carts are riding carts equipped with remote control and GPS cart navigation, standard for Japanese seaside courses of this era. As a single 18-hole facility built to a well-known American designer's specifications, PGM Maria Golf Links stands out among Chiba's seaside courses for its Pete Dye pedigree.
