Kagoshima Golf Resort

Kagoshima Golf Resort has operated as a parkland-style facility in Kagoshima city since 1991, playing a substantial 7,014 yards from the full back tees, with five separate men's tee configurations running down to 5,352 yards, giving the resort course genuine flexibility for groups of very different abilities. Facilities include golf carts, caddies, club rentals, a practice putting green, and an on-site restaurant, and the resort welcomes public play year-round without requiring a member introduction. Being a resort rather than a private or semi-private club, Kagoshima Golf Resort tends to draw a broader mix of visiting tourists and business travelers than some of the prefecture's more member-oriented facilities. Kagoshima city, sometimes called the Naples of the Eastern world for its bay views and volcanic backdrop, sits directly across the water from Sakurajima, whose regular ash plumes are a defining feature of the local skyline and even dust nearby streets and golf courses on windier days. The considerable back-tee length makes the resort a solid test for stronger visiting players. Golfers planning a Kagoshima city visit through CoGolfers can add a round at this resort to the itinerary, and the community is a good place to find other members exploring the volcanic bay area.
