Kadena Banyan Tree Golf Course

Overview: Kadena Banyan Tree Golf Course is an 18-hole layout on Kadena Air Base in Okinawa. The current base recreation page describes a course with an ocean and flight-line setting, a driving range, practice greens, a pro shop and a tee-house restaurant. Independent scorecard records list par 72 and 6,714 yards from the blue tees. Its character is therefore tied to both the course itself and the unusual setting: the round moves through a full-length layout while aircraft, sea views and the base landscape create a backdrop golfers will not find at a conventional Okinawan resort.

History: Banyan Tree is part of the long-running golf programme at Kadena, with the present operator maintaining it as a full 18-hole facility and community recreation asset. The official page presents daily operations, twilight periods and a range of playing options, while the scorecard evidence confirms a conventional par-72 structure rather than a short executive route. Because the course is inside an active air base, its identity has always been connected to the military community and to the people who have access to that community. That context is essential to an accurate profile.

Did You Know? The official course description places Banyan Tree beside both the ocean and Kadena’s flight line. The combination creates an unusual visual contrast: a traditional 18-hole golf landscape sharing the horizon with one of Okinawa’s most recognisable aviation settings.
