Karatsu Golf Club

Karatsu Golf Club has served the historic castle town of Karatsu on Saga Prefecture's northern coast since 1945, making it one of the oldest continuously operating golf clubs in all of Kyushu, established in the years immediately following the end of the Second World War. The semi-private, public-access 18-hole course plays to a par of 72, with a course rating of 73.1 and slope of 123 from the back tees at 6,710 yards, and shorter regular and front tee options broaden its accessibility. The club offers caddies and golf carts, along with a driving range and on-site restaurant, and walking is permitted for golfers who want to experience the course's near-eight-decade history at a relaxed pace. Karatsu itself is known for its dramatic castle overlooking the sea, its ceramics tradition, and the elaborate floats of the Karatsu Kunchi festival held each November. For CoGolfers members visiting this historic port town, Karatsu Golf Club offers a genuine piece of postwar Japanese golf history to pair with the area's cultural attractions, and its long track record makes it a trusted anchor for the local golf community.
