Prince Hotels & Resorts, operating four golf courses in Saitama Prefecture (Kuni Country Club in Hanno City, Musashigaoka Golf Course in Hanno City, Shin Musashigaoka Golf Course in Hidaka City, and Seibuen Golf Course in Tokorozawa City), announced on April 10, 2026, the full deployment of cooler-equipped golf carts across all four locations. This measure is implemented as part of heatstroke prevention efforts during the summer season.
Given the early onset of the rainy season and anticipated early rise in summer temperatures, the initiative aims to provide a comfortable golf experience while addressing heatstroke risks.
Cooler carts, equipped with cooling functions, will be available without additional charge. This addresses concerns for individuals participating in outdoor sports during prolonged periods of intense heat, similar to last summer.
This adaptation to contemporary natural environmental conditions seeks to encourage golfers not to give up on playing even in extreme heat, and supports rounds at golf courses in Saitama Prefecture, known for its particularly hot summers in Japan.
Following trial introductions last year at Shin Musashigaoka Golf Course and Seibuen Golf Course, all owned golf carts at these two locations, along with Kuni Country Club and Musashigaoka Golf Course, will now be equipped with coolers. This completes the 'full implementation' of cooler carts across all four Saitama area golf courses this year.
Each golf course will offer a comfortable summer golfing experience with heatstroke countermeasures.
