Katano Country Club

Katano Country Club has operated in Katano city, in northeastern Osaka prefecture, since 1973, designed by architect Shoichi Suzuki and playing 6,763 yards from the back tees with a 72.4 rating and 123 slope over a layout that makes full use of the hilly terrain typical of this part of the prefecture. The semi-private club runs its own Katano Country Club Golf Academy, with teaching professionals on staff, giving the facility a stronger instructional focus than many of its neighboring clubs and making it a reasonable option for golfers looking to work on their game rather than simply play a round. Practice facilities include a driving range, a bunker practice area, and a putting green, and the clubhouse offers a full restaurant and locker room setup with multiple tee options catering to both men and women. Katano city sits near the Kisaichi and Hoshida areas of northeastern Osaka, a region known for its hiking trails and the Hoshida Ropeway suspension bridge, giving visitors a natural attraction to pair with a round of golf. The city also lies close to Kisaichi Country Club, another of the area's multi-nine clubs, adding to a small cluster of golf facilities in this corner of the prefecture. Golfers looking to combine instruction with a round in northeastern Osaka through CoGolfers can consider Katano Country Club and its academy, and the community is a good place to find playing partners or instructors familiar with the course.
