Beppu Golf Club

Beppu Golf Club is a 36-hole resort facility combining the Tsurumi Course (par 72, 6,864 yards) and the Yufu Course (par 72, 6,918 yards), both built in 1930, making this one of the oldest continuously operating golf facilities anywhere in Kyushu. Despite carrying the Beppu name, the club actually sits in Kitsuki city, a short drive from Beppu's famous hot spring district, and both courses share bent grass greens and a 73.1 rating and 123 slope from the back tees. Facilities include caddies, golf carts, club rentals, a driving range, and an on-site restaurant, and the club accepts Visa, American Express, Diners, and JCB. Two full 18-hole courses under one membership give visiting groups the chance to play 36 genuinely different holes across a two-day stay without repeating a layout, a rare offering for a club of this vintage. The Tsurumi Course, named for the volcanic peak that towers over the Beppu hot spring region, and the Yufu Course, named for nearby Mount Yufu, both take their identity from the dramatic volcanic landscape that makes this corner of Oita one of Japan's most famous hot spring destinations. Golfers planning a Beppu hot spring and golf trip through CoGolfers can anchor the visit around Beppu Golf Club's two historic courses, and the community is a good place to find others heading to the area.
