Yokawa Country Club

Yokawa Country Club is an 18-hole hillside course in Miki, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, designed with the average golfer in mind. The layout rewards those who shape the ball to the right — slices tend to stay in play, while hooks are more likely to find out-of-bounds territory. A big miss left takes you off the course entirely, whereas a push to the right typically lands on an adjacent hole. This built-in bias gives mid-handicappers a clearer path to a solid score. Greens are single bentgrass surfaces with sand construction. They may not look dramatically contoured at first glance, but the more carefully you read them, the more subtle breaks reveal themselves — a challenge that can leave even experienced players second-guessing their lines. Skilled golfers will find plenty of room to apply strategy, making this a course that rewards different levels of play in different ways.
