There is a park for some sports called Yoshioka Ryokuchi Sports Park next to Yoshioka Onsen Roadside Station. These golfs are great for playing with friends and family because they're not as affected by differences in power based on age or gender.
Cayman golf is played using a special golf ball called the "Cayman ball" invented by Jack Nicklaus, known in Japan as the "Emperor of Golf."
Cayman balls are so light that they float on water and can only fly half as far as regular golf balls. This makes it so that everyone can enjoy playing together, whether they are young or old, male or female, or strong or weak.
Cayman golf is played by the same rules as regular golf, except that Cayman balls are used. The same golf clubs are used as in regular golf, but you don't need as many clubs as regular golf to play.
In addition, Cayman balls don't fly long as far as regular golf balls, it means that a Cayman golf course does not require as much land as a regular golf course. Therefore, the playing time is shorter than regular golf, so even those who are not confident in their physical strength can play without worry.

Park golf was born in 1983 in Makubetsu Town, Hokkaido. The name "park golf" was given to the idea of utilizing the empty space in parks. (From the official website of the Nippon Park Golf Association, a public interest incorporated association )
The distance of each hole is set at 100 meters or less to prevent anyone from injuring others relaxing in the park. As a result, golfers of all ages can enjoy the game together because the influence of strength due to gender or age is small.
The only equipment needed to play park golf is a special clubs, a ball, and a tee to place the ball on. Because there isn't much equipment, there's no need to carry a big bag.
Yoshioka Town Ryokuchi Sports Park rents out equipment, so you can come empty-handed and play.
