Yomiuri Country Club

Yomiuri Country Club, in the Shiose district of Nishinomiya city, combines two full 18-hole courses on one property -- its main course, designed by Osamu Ueda in 1961, and the West Course, added in 1962, both playing to a par of 72 with the main course stretching to a substantial 7,236 yards from the championship tee. The Yomiuri name ties the club to the major Japanese media conglomerate long associated with golf tournament sponsorship and course development across the country. Having two full-length courses built within a year of each other gives the club genuine 36-hole capacity from very early in its history, an ambitious scale for a club founded in the early 1960s. The main course's exceptional 7,236-yard length makes it one of the longer championship tests found anywhere in Hyogo prefecture, appealing to accomplished golfers seeking a true test of distance. Nishinomiya's position along the Hanshin corridor between Kobe and Osaka makes the club convenient for golfers from either major metropolitan area. Golfers wanting to play two distinct full-length courses at one property through CoGolfers can pair Yomiuri Country Club's main course and West Course on the same visit.
