Usuki Country Club

Usuki Country Club has operated as a semi-private facility in Usuki city since 1975, playing 6,748 yards from the back tees with a 73.3 rating and 131 slope over Bent and Bermuda grass greens, a combination suited to the warmer coastal climate of southeastern Oita. The club permits fivesomes, a useful detail for larger groups traveling together, and offers golf carts, caddies, and club rentals, along with a putting green, restaurant, lounge, meeting facilities, and full locker room accommodations. Usuki city is renowned nationally for its Usuki Stone Buddhas, a UNESCO-recognized collection of ancient carved Buddhist images set into a hillside, as well as for its historic castle town streetscape and its distinctive fugu pufferfish cuisine, giving golfers visiting the course plenty to explore beyond the round itself. The challenging 131 slope rating places Usuki among the more demanding tests in this Oita survey, rewarding accurate, disciplined golf over sheer length. Having operated for around fifty years, the club carries the settled, well-conditioned character typical of Japan's established coastal clubs. Golfers visiting Usuki for its historic stone Buddhas through CoGolfers can pair that visit with a round at this demanding club, and checking the community for local members is worthwhile given the course's challenging rating.
