Shimabara Country Club

Shimabara Country Club has operated since 1959 in Minamishimabara on the Shimabara Peninsula, an area historically significant as the site of the 17th-century Shimabara Rebellion and now known for its hot springs and views of Mount Unzen. The semi-private, year-round 18-hole course plays to a par of 72, with a course rating of 70.7 and slope of 121 from the back tees at 6,419 yards, and bent/korai grass greens suit the region's warm coastal climate. The club offers a driving range, putting green, golf cart and club rentals, and an on-site restaurant, with walking permitted throughout. The Shimabara Peninsula's blend of samurai-era history, active volcanism at Mount Unzen and hot spring resorts makes it a compelling destination beyond just golf. For CoGolfers members exploring this historically rich peninsula, Shimabara Country Club offers a well-established, accessible round with more than six decades of local tradition, easily paired with a visit to Shimabara Castle or the peninsula's volcanic hot springs.
