Well, over the years I've pretty much done most of the other major
things I've wanted in Japan. Besides, supposedly Japanese greens
typically use a unique kind of grass that gives the game a nice twist,
and the courses I've seen have some really tight fairways. I've found
some stuff online and I guess I can just call the course for prices;
in my experience its not always wise to trust online prices
(especially when you can just call). But personal suggestions are
always nice.

Thanks!
