Atsumaru Lake Country Club

Established in 1974, Atsumaru Lake Country Club takes its name from the water features that come into play across several holes of its 6,960-yard layout, giving the course a more scenic and strategic character than many of the flatter parkland tracks nearby. The course carries a 73.1 rating and 123 slope from the championship tees, with regular and front options at 6,565 and 6,160 yards respectively for groups who want a shorter test. Set in Uki city on the Kumamoto plain, the semi-private club is a comfortable drive from Kumamoto city itself, making it a popular choice for members and visiting corporate groups looking for a half-day round without a long commute. Facilities on site include golf cart and caddie service, pull carts and club rental for those without their own equipment, a full putting green, dining room, and locker rooms. The lakeside holes are generally regarded as the visual highlight of the round, with water guarding several greens closely enough to demand a committed approach shot rather than a bail-out play. The course operates year-round and welcomes visitors alongside its member base. Golfers researching Uki-area courses on CoGolfers will also find Shiranui Country Club and World Country Club nearby, both within the same city, so it is worth checking the community for other Kumamoto-based golfers before arranging transport, since several good courses cluster in this part of the prefecture.
