The golf courses in this DriveJapan "itinerary" (which is not meant to be comprehensive) are listed in alphabetic order rather than in any "routing" or other order.
This itinerary/activity can be combined/customized with various other driving itineraries in Ishikawa. You can conveniently access these courses from various "gateways" in Ishikawa, the Kanazawa JR Station (if arriving by train), or either the Komatsu or Noto Satoyama Airports (if arriving by air). All three locations have multiple rental car outlets onsite or nearby.
The very helpful website "www.golf-in-japan.com" is a comprehensive guide in English to golf courses in Japan. It features detailed information on reportedly "all" 2,349 courses of eighteen-holes or more in Japan. The site also includes information on about 500 driving and practice ranges in the central Kanto, Chubu and Kansai areas with additional areas continually added. Over the years its members have rated many of the courses they have played providing a reliable all-around guide from an international players perspective.
In addition to ratings (not all courses have been rated), the site provides price ranges to play each course, the number of holes and the par ratings, the year it was established, the designer, and the address. When you click on a specific course on their site it will also provide the contact information/phone number to make a reservation, plus an access map. It is best to make a reservation to be sure you can play on your desired date and time.
Another helpful website is "www.air-golf.com/travel/before-you-go/whats-it-golf-japan". Their page on what to know before you start is very useful and well written. They also have a list of the courses in Japan but it looks almost identical to the www.golf-in-japan.com website listing.
The Kanazawa Station (Kanazawa-eki) is a railway station in Kanazawa-shi (Kanazawa City), Ishikawa-ken (Ishikawa Prefecture) operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West) and the private railway operators Hokuriku Railway, and IR Ishikawa Railway. The station serves the Hokuriku Shinkansen line (currently operating between Tokyo, Nagano and Kanazawa). The station averages about 22,700 boarding passengers per day.
The station has a Midori no Madoguchi (みどりの窓口, literally "green window") with a MARS (マルス Marusu, which stands for Multi Access seat Reservation System) capable of selling reserved seats throughout the entire JR system.
The departure melody used on the Hokuriku Shinkansen platforms was composed by songwriter and producer Yasutaka Nakata, who was born in Kanazawa. The station has numerous rental car offices on both the east and west sides. It also serves as a bus station hub.
