It has hosted 9 Japanese men's professional golf tournaments, making it the second most famous golf course in Kagoshima Prefecture for professional golf tournaments.

The bath at the golf course is a natural hot spring with an open-air bath. There is also a lounge with karaoke facilities and a bar, where you can spend quality time after golf.
