Higashi-Hirono Golf Club

Higashi-Hirono Golf Club has played in the Shijimi district of Miki city since 1989, stretching to a substantial 7,157 yards from the blue tees. The 'Higashi-Hirono' name, meaning 'East Hirono,' places the club within the immediate vicinity of the internationally celebrated Hirono Golf Club, widely regarded as one of the finest courses in Japan and a fixture on rankings of the world's best layouts. That geographic association situates Higashi-Hirono within one of the most architecturally respected golf districts anywhere in the country, even as it operates as its own genuinely distinct club. Its late-1980s opening and considerable length reflect the more contemporary standards of courses built toward the end of Japan's golf construction boom. Miki's Shijimi and Yokawa districts together form a dense cluster of highly regarded courses, making this part of the city a natural pilgrimage for serious golf enthusiasts touring Japan. The course's nearly 7,157-yard scale gives it real teeth for low-handicap players. Golfers exploring the legendary Hirono golf district through CoGolfers can add Higashi-Hirono Golf Club to that tour, and the community is a good place to find others planning the same.
