Kitarokko Country Club - West Course

Kitarokko Country Club's West Course has played in the Kamiozo district of Kobe's Kita-ku ward since its founding, stretching to 6,878 yards from the back tees down to 5,554 yards from the ladies' markers. The club's name references Rokko, the mountain range that forms Kobe's dramatic backdrop and gives its northern slopes, Kita-Rokko, their distinct hillside character compared to the flatter harbor district below. That elevated setting keeps the course noticeably cooler during Hyogo's warmer months, a genuine draw for golfers looking to escape the summer heat of central Kobe. Kita-ku's position as one of the city's most golf-dense wards puts Kitarokko within easy reach of numerous other clubs, including the nearby Kita-Kobe Golf Course and Kobe Pine Woods Golf Club. The club's substantial length from the back tees gives the West Course real teeth for golfers seeking a genuine challenge within city limits. Its Kobe address makes it a convenient option for residents or business travelers who want serious golf without a long drive into the countryside. Golfers looking for a challenging round in Kobe's northern hills through CoGolfers can consider Kitarokko Country Club's West Course as a genuinely testing city-adjacent option.
