Beppu no Mori Golf Club

Beppu no Mori Golf Club is a 27-hole facility in Beppu city, designed by architect Mitsuaki Kobayashi and opened in 1974, built from three nines, South, East, and West, that combine into full par-72 rounds under the names South/East, South/West, and West/East. Yardages across the three pairings range from roughly 6,274 to 6,637 yards from the blue tees, with ratings between 70.1 and 72.3 depending on the combination chosen, making this a comparatively approachable 27-hole complex relative to some of Oita's longer championship courses. The semi-private club enforces a soft-spikes-only policy and offers GPS-equipped golf carts, club rentals, a driving range, and professional instruction, along with a restaurant and locker facilities. The name, meaning Beppu Forest, reflects the wooded parkland setting that gives the course a sheltered, tree-lined character distinct from the more open volcanic terrain found on some of the resort courses closer to Beppu's famous hot spring district. Beppu itself is one of Japan's most visited hot spring towns, known for its eight distinct thermal areas collectively called the Beppu Hells, and golfers visiting the course can easily combine a round with an onsen soak in town. Golfers planning a Beppu hot spring and golf trip through CoGolfers can note which nine-hole combination they intend to play when posting an open game here.
