Moji Golf Club

Moji Golf Club has one of the longest histories in this entire Fukuoka survey, tracing back to 1934 with a design by architect Osamu Ueda and significant modifications completed in 1958, giving the course nearly a century of continuous operation in Kitakyushu's Moji ward. The semi-private layout plays 6,700 yards with a 73.1 rating and a notably high 136 slope, and features Korai grass greens, a traditional choice that has suited the club through its many decades of Kyushu summers. Facilities include golf carts, caddies, a driving range, practice areas, restaurant, and meeting spaces, and the club maintains a dress code requiring appropriate golf attire, consistent with its long-established, tradition-minded character. Moji ward sits at the very northern tip of Kyushu, overlooking the Kanmon Strait toward Honshu, an area rich in early twentieth-century port architecture and retro streetscapes that draw visitors interested in Japan's Meiji and Taisho-era history. The club's nearly ninety-year history and challenging slope rating have earned it a respected place among Kitakyushu's golfing community, distinct from the area's newer resort-style developments. Golfers visiting Moji for its historic port district through CoGolfers can pair that visit with a round at this venerable club, and checking the community for local members is worthwhile given its long-established, slightly more formal character.
