Reisen Golf Club

Reisen Golf Club has operated as a private, parkland-style course in Kameoka city since 2008, one of the newer additions to the area's golf scene, playing 6,496 yards from the back tees over bent grass greens with a 71.6 rating, and tee options down to 5,124 yards from the ladies' markers. The club permits fivesomes and metal spikes, both relatively uncommon accommodations, and offers a practice bunker, pitching and chipping area, restaurant, and full locker rooms, accepting a wide range of credit cards including Visa, JCB, Mastercard, American Express, and Diners Club. Kameoka has developed into one of the more concentrated golf destinations just west of Kyoto city, also home to Kameoka Country Club, Kameoka Golf Club, and Kayanosato Country within the same municipality, giving Reisen genuine neighbors within a short drive. Being built in 2008, Reisen is among the most recently constructed golf facilities in Kyoto prefecture, reflecting more contemporary conditioning standards than the area's many older, 1960s-through-1980s-era clubs. As a private club, visiting play generally requires a member introduction. The course's name references Reisengadake, the peak in whose foothills the club sits, giving it a genuine sense of place within the Tanba hills west of Kyoto. Golfers with access to Reisen Golf Club through CoGolfers connections can look forward to one of Kameoka's newest courses, and the community is a good place to find members able to arrange a visit.
