Chikugo River Riverside Sports Center - Mamezu Golf Course

Mamezu Golf Course, part of the Chikugo River Riverside Sports Center in Miyaki-cho, has offered public golf along the banks of Kyushu's longest river since 1969. The course plays to a par of 70 across 5,219 yards, with a course rating of 70.9, and tifton/korai grass greens reflect the warmer-climate turf varieties common across Kyushu's public courses. As a public facility open year-round, it's one of the more accessible golf options in the Miyaki area, with no membership requirement standing between visiting golfers and a round. The center offers golf and pull carts, club rentals, a driving range, putting green and an on-site restaurant. Its riverside setting gives the course a flat, open character distinct from the hillier private clubs found elsewhere in Saga Prefecture. For CoGolfers members looking for an affordable, no-frills round in northern Kyushu, Mamezu Golf Course's public access and modest length make it a good option for casual games, practice rounds, or introducing newer golfers to the game without the cost or formality of Saga's more established private clubs.
