Kijima Kogen Golf Club

Kijima Kogen Golf Club has operated as a resort facility on the Kijima highland plateau above Beppu since 1975, playing 6,751 yards from the back tees with regular and women's tee options at 6,305 and 5,055 yards, carrying a 73.1 rating and 123 slope over bent grass greens. The elevated highland setting gives the course a cooler microclimate than the coastal city below and open views across the surrounding volcanic landscape that defines this part of Oita. Facilities include a driving range, practice bunker, restaurant, and full locker room amenities, and the club accepts a wide range of credit cards including JCB, Visa, American Express, UC, and Diners. Kijima Kogen is also home to a well-known amusement park and safari park, making the wider area a popular family destination beyond golf, and visiting groups can easily combine a round with other activities on the plateau. Beppu's status as one of Japan's most famous hot spring towns means a stay built around Kijima Kogen naturally extends into an onsen visit in the city below. Golfers planning a Beppu-area golf trip through CoGolfers can flag Kijima Kogen for its highland scenery and cooler summer temperatures, and posting an open game here is a good way to find local company.
