Koga Golf Club

Koga Golf Club is a 36-hole seaside course in Koga, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, shaped by the coastal environment in every detail. The layout is largely flat but features subtle undulations, with pine forests typical of the shoreline separating the holes. On the front nine, a slice is likely to find out-of-bounds, and the sea breeze demands constant attention to shot shape. The routing makes good use of varied par combinations and a range of distances, so every club in the bag is put to work. Greens are small and heavily guarded by deep, firm bunkers, placing a premium on approach accuracy. The surface undulations are delicate, making green-reading a decisive factor in scoring. White sand, coastal pines, the sound of the surf, and the rustle of the trees through the seasons give Koga Golf Club a links-influenced character that rewards thoughtful, controlled golf.
