Mizuho Golf Club

Mizuho Golf Club has operated as a private course in Kyotamba-cho, in the Tanba hills of central Kyoto prefecture, since 1990, playing 6,848 yards from the back tees with a 73.1 rating and 123 slope over a layout that makes prominent use of water hazards throughout its routing. The club offers golf carts, pull carts, and caddies, along with walking permitted for members who prefer it, and a putting green and full locker room facilities round out the clubhouse amenities. Kyotamba-cho sits in the Tanba highlands, an area known for its misty valleys, black soybean farming, and rural scenery, and the town also hosts Grandvert Kyoto Golf Club's East and West courses nearby, giving this part of central Kyoto prefecture a genuine golf cluster within the same municipality. Being built in 1990, Mizuho reflects a later wave of Kyoto-area golf development than many of the prefecture's 1960s and 1970s clubs, with water features playing a more prominent strategic role than the hillside, tree-lined designs typical of the earlier era. As a private club, visiting play typically requires a member introduction or reciprocal arrangement. Golfers with access to Mizuho Golf Club's water-featured layout through CoGolfers connections can look forward to a genuinely different strategic test in the Tanba hills, and the community is a good place to find members able to arrange a visit.
