What are the good golf courses near Kyoto? Recommended golf courses in Japan(BaiGolf Popular Course)

BaiGolf Rating 4.5

Recommendation reason: A famous course in the PGM series

Opened in September 2000, it is a relatively new course, but it was selected as one of the "12 most beautiful courses" (you must go at least once) and is popular among women for its beautiful scenery. On the other hand, the course has hosted JGTO qualifiers and challenge tournaments many times and is an official championship course with a total length of more than 7,000 yards.

The course has many unique holes, including floating island tees and beach bunkers, and lakes and bunkers are cleverly arranged throughout the course, which naturally puts pressure on golfers behind the beautiful course. The course is very strategic. The greens are also very strategic, and the line readings of the double-layer greens and undulating greens will have a great impact on the score. At first glance, the course is beautiful and peaceful, but since the course rating is 73.3, it is difficult for golfers to play well once the strong winds unique to the Kasugi golf club.

Kansai Country Club

BaiGolf Rating 4.4

Recommendation reason: A long-established golf course in Kyoto established in 1977

The 18-hole course is located in the hilly area at the foot of Mount Fuji. The outfield takes advantage of the natural terrain and boldly integrates downhill and uphill challenges.

The tee times are limited, so it is recommended to arrange earlier in time.
