Lake Forest Resort Bird Spring Course

Lake Forest Resort's Bird Spring Course, sharing an address with the resort's separate Century Course in Minamiyamashiro-mura in southeastern Kyoto prefecture, operates three nine-hole courses named Kashi, Kusunoki, and Pine, each playing to a par of 36 and combining in pairs to form full eighteen-hole rounds, giving this half of the resort's golf offering 27 total holes. Between the Bird Spring Course's three nines and the resort's standalone Century Course elsewhere on the same property, Lake Forest Resort offers a genuinely substantial 45 holes of golf in total, making it one of the larger single-property golf destinations in Kyoto prefecture. The tree-themed nine names, Kashi meaning oak and Kusunoki meaning camphor tree, reflect the wooded, parkland character of the resort's setting along the Kizu River near the Nara border. Minamiyamashiro-mura's rural, hilly position between Kyoto and Nara gives golfers at Lake Forest Resort a genuinely central base for exploring both historic cities beyond the golf itself. With three interchangeable nines all producing a consistent par-72 eighteen-hole test when paired, the Bird Spring Course rewards repeat play across its different combinations. Golfers looking for a substantial multi-round resort stay between Kyoto and Nara through CoGolfers can consider Lake Forest Resort's Bird Spring Course alongside its sister Century Course, and the community is a good place to find a group interested in a longer stay at the property.
