Kyowa Golf Club

Kyowa Golf Club has operated as a semi-private, parkland-style course in Wazuka-cho, in southern Kyoto prefecture, since 1974, playing 6,635 yards from the blue tees over bent grass greens with a 71.7 rating and 119 slope. The club offers golf carts with GPS, caddies, and club rentals, along with a driving range, putting green, and restaurant, and accepts major credit cards while operating year round. Wazuka-cho is one of Japan's most significant tea-growing regions, supplying a substantial share of Uji tea's raw leaves from terraced hillside plantations that carpet the town's slopes, giving the area a genuinely distinctive agricultural landscape unlike the dense urban golf settings found closer to Kyoto city. The town's tea fields have increasingly drawn visitors interested in agritourism and tea-picking experiences, giving golfers at Kyowa a worthwhile side trip beyond the round itself. Nearby Kasatori Golf Center and Uji Country Club give this stretch of southern Kyoto prefecture a modest concentration of golf options within the broader tea-growing region. Having operated for half a century, Kyowa carries the settled character typical of Kansai's mid-1970s private-course developments. Golfers looking to combine a round with a visit to Japan's premier tea-growing hillsides through CoGolfers can consider Kyowa Golf Club, and the community is a good place to find others planning a similar trip to Wazuka.
