Takarazuka Golf Club

Takarazuka Golf Club, in the Kurando district of Takarazuka city, combines two full 18-hole layouts on one property -- the Old Course, dating all the way back to 1926, and the New Course, added in 1959, giving the club a genuinely deep institutional history spanning nearly a century. The Old Course's 1926 origin places it among the very earliest golf courses built anywhere in Hyogo prefecture, predating the vast majority of the region's golf development by three to four decades. Playing to a par of 70 at 6,201 yards, the Old Course reflects the compact, strategically demanding routing typical of Japan's pre-war golf architecture, while the longer, par-72 New Course at 6,728 yards incorporates the more contemporary standards of its later construction date. Having two courses spanning such different eras under one club gives golfers a genuine before-and-after comparison of how Japanese golf architecture evolved across more than three decades. Takarazuka's fame as home to the all-female Takarazuka Revue theater troupe adds cultural interest to any visit. Golfers wanting to experience both Hyogo's early and mid-century golf design in one visit through CoGolfers can pair a round on Takarazuka Golf Club's Old and New courses.
