Fukuoka Kokusai Country Club

Fukuoka Kokusai Country Club is a 36-hole facility in Munakata city built from two separately named full 18-hole layouts, the Nakayama Course and the Nanamata Course, both opened in 1969 and sharing the same clubhouse and address. The Nakayama Course plays 6,732 yards from the back tees while Nanamata measures a very similar 6,743 yards, both carrying a 73.1 rating and 123 slope over bent grass greens, giving repeat visitors two genuinely comparable but distinct 18-hole tests within a single stay. The semi-private club offers golf carts, caddies, club rental, a driving range, golf simulator, and indoor practice facilities, useful during Kyushu's rainy season, and walking is permitted on both courses. Munakata city sits on Fukuoka's northern coast and is best known for the Munakata Taisha shrine complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site connected to ancient maritime trade routes between Japan and the Asian continent, giving visiting golfers a strong cultural draw beyond the round itself. With two full courses under one membership, Kokusai gives groups the flexibility to play 36 holes across a short stay without repeating a layout, a genuine rarity in this part of Fukuoka. Golfers planning a Munakata-area trip through CoGolfers can flag both courses in an open game post and pair a round with a visit to the nearby shrine complex.
