Aoshima Golf Club

Aoshima Golf Club opened in 1991 to a design by architect Mitsuaki Kobayashi, playing a genuinely long 7,018 yards from the black tees with a 74.9 rating and 131 slope over bent grass greens, placing it among the more demanding championship-scale tests in Miyazaki prefecture. Tee options down to 5,713 yards keep the semi-private course accessible for a broader range of playing ability despite its serious back-tee length. Facilities include a driving range, practice bunker, and pitching area, along with golf cart rental, club rentals, and an on-site restaurant. The club takes its name from nearby Aoshima, a small subtropical island connected to the mainland by a causeway and famous for its unusual wave-cut rock formations known as the Devil's Washboard, one of Miyazaki's most recognizable natural landmarks. Golfers visiting Aoshima Golf Club can easily combine a round with a visit to the island and its shrine, a popular day trip for visitors to the Miyazaki coast. Miyazaki's mild, subtropical climate and coastal scenery have made the prefecture a long-standing golf and honeymoon destination in Japan since the mid-twentieth century. Golfers planning a Miyazaki coastal golf trip through CoGolfers can pair a round at Aoshima with a visit to the island itself, and the community is a good place to find local company.
