Banshu Toyo Golf Club

Banshu Toyo Golf Club has played in Kasai city, in the heart of Hyogo's densely packed Banshu golf district, since 1974, designed by Osamu Ueda and stretching to 6,705 yards. Ueda was one of the more prolific golf course architects working across Hyogo prefecture during the 1960s and 1970s, and his design work appears repeatedly throughout this part of the Banshu plain, giving the region a somewhat consistent architectural character. Kasai's flat, agricultural terrain proved well suited to golf development, and the city now hosts one of the highest concentrations of golf clubs anywhere in Hyogo, making it possible to play several distinctly different courses within a short radius. Having operated for half a century, Banshu Toyo Golf Club carries the mature, tree-lined character typical of courses from Japan's first major golf construction boom. The name itself references the Banshu region, the traditional name for this part of western Hyogo. Golfers organizing a multi-course trip through the Banshu district via CoGolfers can add Banshu Toyo Golf Club to that circuit, and the community is a good place to find others exploring Osamu Ueda's design work across the area.
