Shigira Bay Country Club

Overview: Shigira Bay Country Club is an 18-hole resort course on Miyakojima where every hole is presented as part of an ocean-facing landscape. The current course data records par 70 and 6,110 yards. The layout is not simply a flat tropical walk: the official guide highlights a downhill 11th towards the sea, a water crossing at the 12th and a succession of palms, flowering vegetation and exposed coastal views.

History: The course opened in 2000 and is credited to Time and Tide Co. in the course data used for this profile. It became one of the golf anchors of the wider Shigira resort, linking a distinctive Miyakojima landscape with a full resort stay. The resort’s current golf page continues to describe 18-hole play and the ocean views as central to the experience.

Did You Know? The 12th is one of the course’s memorable visual moments because the approach crosses water before reaching a green framed by the island setting. The official resort guide also singles out the 11th for its downhill movement towards the sea, giving two consecutive holes very different ways to experience the coast.
