Nihonkai Golf Club - Inabayama Course

Nihonkai Golf Club's Inabayama Course is a private layout in Iwami, Tottori, designed by American golf course architect Joe E. Crane and opened in 1978. The course measures 6,564 yards with a course rating of 73.1 and slope of 123, with par-3, par-4, and par-5 holes distributed across both nines for a balanced test. Multiple tee options accommodate both male and female players, and the club provides golf carts, caddies, and a restaurant for a complete golf day. The course operates seasonally from March through December, reflecting the more pronounced winter weather found along this stretch of Tottori's coast. As a private facility, access is generally arranged through membership or an introduction, giving it a more exclusive character than the semi-private clubs found elsewhere in the prefecture. Nihonkai, which translates to Sea of Japan, reflects the club's location along this scenic northern coastline. For CoGolfers members with access to private clubs or member introductions, Nihonkai Golf Club's Inabayama Course offers a well-designed round in a relatively less-visited part of Tottori, and the CoGolfers community can help facilitate connections for golfers hoping to play here.
