Takara Golf Garden

Takara Golf Garden is a distinctive 9-hole, par-54 semi-private facility in Niihama, Ehime Prefecture, notable for being an all par-3 layout — every hole on the 1,993-yard course is a par-3, with a course rating of 53.4 and a slope of 96. Established in 1972, it's a course built around precision iron play rather than length, making it an excellent option for golfers wanting to sharpen their short and mid-iron game, or for newer golfers easing into the sport without the pressure of longer par-4s and par-5s. The facility includes a driving range, pull carts, and club rentals, and it operates in partnership with the Aono Golf Academy, offering instruction from teaching professionals for golfers looking to improve. It's a lower-pressure, skill-building complement to the area's larger championship courses.
