In Japan, regulations require the original woodland to be left untouched to a width of 20 meters around each fairway, and for engineering work to be done in advance to prevent damage to areas outside the golf course. Only when this work has been inspected and approved by the authorities is construction of the course itself allowed to go ahead.
日本就規定所有球道必須保留二十公尺寬的原有林木，並且先在球場範圍外可能受影響地區，做防範於未然的工程，並等管理單位工程檢驗合格，才准許球場開山動土。
