Fukuoka Raizan Golf Club

Fukuoka Raizan Golf Club opened in 1996 in Itoshima city, on the scenic coastal peninsula west of Fukuoka city, and plays 6,905 yards from the championship tees with a 73.1 rating and 123 slope. The semi-private club offers golf carts, caddie service, club rental, a driving range, and putting green, along with on-site dining and locker facilities for members and visiting guests. Itoshima has become one of Fukuoka's most popular weekend destinations in recent years, known for its beaches, cafes, and Mount Raizan, the peak from which the club takes its name and which frames several holes with a dramatic wooded backdrop. The area also hosts Ito Golf Club and The Queen's Hill Golf Club at separate addresses, giving Itoshima a genuine concentration of courses worth a multi-round visit for golfers with time to spare. Being a relatively recent 1996 build, Raizan benefits from modern course construction and drainage compared with some of Fukuoka's older 1960s and 1970s clubs. Itoshima's rising popularity as a lifestyle and tourism destination means visiting golfers can easily combine a round here with the area's well-regarded cafes and coastal scenery. Golfers planning an Itoshima golf and coastal trip through CoGolfers can compare Raizan against its peninsula neighbors and find others interested in the same visit.
