Kyushu Golf Club - Yahata Course

Kyushu Golf Club, playing its Yahata course, opened in 1992 in Kitakyushu's Yahatahigashi ward to a design by architect Shunsuke Kato, stretching to 7,033 yards from the back tees with a 73.6 rating and 131 slope over bent grass greens, making it one of the longer, more demanding tests in the Kitakyushu area. Regular and ladies' tees at 6,569 and 5,542 yards give the resort-style parkland course a workable range for mixed groups despite its serious back-tee length. Facilities include golf carts, caddies, club rental, a driving range, practice bunker, and putting green, and the course welcomes public play year-round. Kitakyushu, Kyushu's northern gateway city facing Honshu across the Kanmon Strait, hosts several other courses under the broader Kyushu Golf Club and Kitakyushu Country Club names at different addresses across the metropolitan area, so it is worth confirming the exact Yahata address when arranging a visit. The course's considerable length and challenging slope rating have made it a respected test among Kitakyushu's golfing community since opening in the early 1990s. Golfers using CoGolfers to plan a Kitakyushu golf trip can note the Yahata course specifically for its length, and finding local playing partners through the community is a good way to learn the layout's demands before a first visit.
