Kirishima Golf Club

Kirishima Golf Club traces its origins back to 1957, making it one of the oldest golf facilities in this entire Kagoshima survey, playing 6,781 yards from the back tees with a 73.1 rating and 123 slope over bent grass greens. The resort-style course offers golf carts, caddies, a driving range, practice bunker, and putting green, giving visitors a proper warm-up before heading out onto one of Kyushu's more historically significant layouts. Kirishima city takes its name from the Kirishima mountain range, a chain of active volcanic peaks straddling the border with Miyazaki prefecture and central to Japanese mythology as the legendary site where the god Ninigi is said to have descended to earth, founding the imperial line. The area is also renowned for its hot spring resorts scattered through the mountains, drawing visitors year-round for both golf and onsen bathing. Having operated for well over six decades, Kirishima Golf Club carries a genuinely mature, well-established character that few other courses in the prefecture can match. Golfers exploring the mythologically significant Kirishima mountain area through CoGolfers can pair a round at this historic club with a hot spring stay, and the community is a good place to find local company.
