Miyazaki

Miyazaki Country Club

MiyazakiThis seaside course consists of 18 holes separated by pine trees along the seashore. It was designed by Tokuyuki Miyoshi, a famous amateur golfer who won the Japan Amateur Championship three times in a row in the 1950s, when golf was not yet a common sport in Japan. This is the first of the 24 golf courses he designed. The course features a strategic design around the greens that requires accurate shots.

The course is only a 5-minute drive from Miyazaki Airport and a 15-minute drive from Miyazaki City.

The JLPGA TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP Ricoh Cup, the final round of the JLPGA and one of the major tournaments, has been held annually since 2003, and every tournament has been televised to give you a hint on how to play the course.

The greens of this golf course are made of bent grass, which used to be common among Japanese golf courses in the past, but in recent years, due to globalization, more tournaments have been held on bent grass greens, and green strategy is a major factor. The course opened in 1960.
