Kinosaki Country Club

Kinosaki Country Club is an 18-hole seaside course set on hilly terrain in Toyooka, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, offering views across the San'in Kaigan National Park throughout the round. Natural undulations along the fairways make approach shots a constant challenge, but it is the tee shot that most often determines your score. Club selection is tested at every turn, and nowhere more than the signature 8th hole — a par-3 played over a valley toward the Sea of Japan. When the wind blows in off the water, even a large club can leave you short, making it one of the more demanding and memorable short holes on the course.
