Kisaichi Country Club

Kisaichi Country Club, in Katano city in northeastern Osaka prefecture, operates three nine-hole courses named Bamboo, Pine, and Plum, each playing to a par of 36 and combining in pairs for full eighteen-hole rounds consistently playing to par 72. The Pine and Bamboo pairing stretches to 7,021 yards from the black tees with a 73.1 rating and 123 slope, among the longer combinations found in this part of the prefecture, while the Pine and Plum pairing plays a more moderate 6,430 yards with a 70.7 rating and 121 slope, giving visiting groups a genuine choice in difficulty depending on which nines the club sets up for their round. The plant-themed nine names, common among Japanese golf clubs of this era, reflect a naming tradition tying the course to the natural surroundings of the Kisaichi district, an area of northeastern Osaka known for its hiking trails and the nearby Hoshida Ropeway suspension bridge. Katano city also hosts Katano Country Club within its boundaries, giving golfers visiting this corner of Osaka prefecture two distinct clubs to choose between during the same trip. With 27 holes spread across three genuinely different nines, Kisaichi offers enough variety for a multi-day visit without repeating the same routing twice, since three different eighteen-hole combinations are possible from the same three nines. Golfers touring northeastern Osaka's hill courses through CoGolfers can consider Kisaichi Country Club, and the community is a good place to find a group interested in trying more than one of its three nine-hole pairings.
