Koraku Golf Club

Koraku Golf Club in Okayama, Japan, is a championship 18-hole layout that stretches between 6,800 and 7,000-plus yards depending on pin positions. The course plays flat throughout, and nearly every hole offers a clear sightline from the tee to the green, encouraging confident, open play. The bentgrass greens exceed 900 square metres each and consistently measure around 10 feet on the Stimpmeter — a standard the club maintains year-round. While the fairways and greens demand precise placement, leaving very little margin for error on the ideal line, the design also accommodates a range of handicaps. It has earned a reputation among amateur golfers as a course that is challenging yet genuinely rewarding to take on. Access is straightforward: roughly 35 minutes from Okayama Station and about 7 minutes from Okayama Airport via Prefectural Route 72.
