What It Is

ゴルフタイムズ (Golf Times) is a golf instruction video service provided by 株式会社ネクストレベル. Based on the captured content, its core format is a library of recorded short videos organized by topic, covering golf practice scenarios such as スイング, ドライバー, アプローチ, パター, 練習法, and クラブ. It answers specific questions like “how to perform the basic chip shot motion,” “scoring high and low shots with the Driver,” “choosing putter length,” and “what to do when your swing feels off.”

Core Courses and Instructors

The courses are mainly short videos, commonly around 3–5 minutes per lesson, with difficulty level, category, and featured instructor indicated. This makes them suitable for quickly reviewing key movement points before practice. The content includes beginner topics such as the basic chip shot form, choosing putter length, and face/neck movement during the swing, as well as more advanced material such as controlling high and low shots with the Driver. On the instructor side, the site lists coaches including 久田順也, 宮崎太輝, 田中健一, and 岡田裕弥. Some have backgrounds such as PGAティーチングプロA級, PGAジュニア指導員, USGTF, USGTF Level 4, and ACE Personal Trainer, making the content more credible than typical UGC videos.

Pricing and Service Model

The page includes phrases such as “今すぐ無料で見る” and “見放題プラン30日間を試す,” suggesting that there may be free viewing options and a 30-day trial for an unlimited-viewing plan. However, the captured text does not provide specific pricing, payment methods, renewal rules, or refund policies. The terms mention that contracts may be based on publicly listed website prices or on quotations/application forms, so the business model appears closer to a subscription-based video library. That said, pricing transparency is limited in the currently available text.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are a very focused set of topics, making it useful for quickly learning around a single technical issue. The videos are short, clearly categorized, and supported by entry points such as recommendations, new releases, and rankings, keeping search and browsing effort low. The drawbacks are that no structured learning path, post-lesson practice feedback, live Q&A, or 1-on-1 swing correction mechanism was found. For a movement-based skill, watching short videos alone may not be enough to identify individual swing issues. In addition, the language is Japanese, so Chinese-speaking users will need some Japanese comprehension ability.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is better suited to beginner-to-intermediate golfers who already have a practice setting and want to supplement their technique with Japanese-language explanations. It can also work for advanced users looking to learn specific shot-making methods. The terms state that, in principle, the service area is limited to Japan; whether access and payment from mainland China work smoothly is not indicated in the text, so this remains unknown. If access or payment is restricted, alternatives include YouTube golf instruction channels, domestic golf instruction video accounts/courses, or choosing an offline coach for direct swing correction.
