Kasatori Golf Center

Kasatori Golf Center offers a public 12-hole layout in the hills above Uji city, playing a compact 1,058 yards, a genuinely short course built for practice and quick, casual play rather than a full championship test. The facility runs its own Golf School Academy with a teaching professional on staff, giving Kasatori a stronger instructional identity than most of the area's longer clubs, and it includes a driving range, a bunker practice area, and a putting green alongside its 12 playing holes. The course welcomes walking and operates year round as a straightforward public facility without membership requirements. Uji city is world-famous for its green tea production and for the Byodo-in Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose Phoenix Hall appears on the Japanese ten-yen coin, giving golfers at Kasatori an easy and highly worthwhile cultural stop before or after a quick round. The center sits in the hills above the historic city center, offering a practical, low-commitment golf option for visitors who want to fit a short game session around a day of temple and tea-house sightseeing. A compact facility like Kasatori fills a genuine niche for golfers who want to keep their skills sharp without committing to a full 18-hole round elsewhere in Kyoto prefecture. Golfers visiting Uji for its tea and temples through CoGolfers can pair the trip with a quick session at Kasatori Golf Center, and the community is a good place to find others doing the same.
