Stork Hill Golf Club

Stork Hill Golf Club has played in Kamigori town, in western Hyogo near the Okayama prefecture border, since 1990, offering tee options from 5,458 to 6,862 yards from the championship markers. The club's evocative name evokes the Oriental white stork, a bird historically associated with the region and famously reintroduced to the wild through conservation efforts centered in nearby Toyooka on Hyogo's northern coast, though Kamigori itself sits in the prefecture's southwestern corner. Kamigori's position near the Okayama border makes it a natural stop for golfers traveling the Sanyo corridor between the Kansai and Chugoku regions. The club's 1990 opening places it at the tail end of Japan's major golf construction boom, arriving with the more contemporary conditioning standards common by that decade's start. Its wide tee range accommodates golfers of varying skill levels playing together in the same group. The area's position within western Hyogo's quieter golf landscape offers a change of pace from the denser Banshu corridor clusters further east. Golfers traveling the Sanyo route through CoGolfers can add Stork Hill Golf Club to that western Hyogo itinerary, and the community is a good place to find others planning a similar cross-regional trip.
