Osumi Country Club

Osumi Country Club has operated as a semi-private facility in Osaki town, on the Osumi peninsula, since 1973, playing to a par of 71 over 6,891 yards from the back tees with a 72.1 rating and 121 slope, and regular and ladies' tees at 6,418 and 5,321 yards. The club offers golf carts and caddies, along with a putting green and on-site restaurant, and welcomes public play year-round. Osumi Country Club sits on the less-visited eastern side of Kagoshima Bay, opposite the busier city side, giving the club a quieter, more rural setting than some of the prefecture's more heavily trafficked courses. The Osumi peninsula is known for its rocket launch facilities at the Tanegashima Space Center's mainland support operations, agricultural land, and coastal scenery along the Pacific-facing shore. The par-71 configuration gives the course a slightly different strategic rhythm from the standard par-72 layouts common elsewhere in the prefecture. Golfers exploring the quieter Osumi peninsula through CoGolfers may find Osumi Country Club a pleasant, low-key option away from the busier Kagoshima city golf scene, and posting an open game here is a good way to meet local members familiar with this less-visited part of the prefecture.
