Minamikyushu Country Club

Minamikyushu Country Club has operated as a semi-private facility in Hioki city since 1967, playing 6,900 yards from the back tees with a 73.1 rating and 123 slope, and closes on Mondays, a maintenance-day arrangement typical of Japan's older established clubs. A wide spread of tee options, down to 5,204 yards for the ladies, gives the course a workable range across mixed-ability groups despite its considerable back-tee length. Facilities include golf carts, caddies, a driving range, chipping area, and putting green, along with a restaurant and lounge, and the club accepts multiple credit card types. Hioki city, on Kagoshima's western coast, also hosts Cherry Kagoshima Seaside Golf Club at a separate address, giving golfers visiting this part of the prefecture two distinct courses to choose from during a longer stay. Having operated for well over five decades, Minamikyushu Country Club carries the settled, mature character typical of Japan's established country clubs from the 1960s. Golfers exploring Hioki's coastal golf options through CoGolfers can compare Minamikyushu against Cherry Kagoshima Seaside nearby, and the community is a good place to find local company for a multi-round visit to this part of the prefecture.
