Yufukogen Golf Club

Yufukogen Golf Club has operated as a semi-private facility in Yufu city since 1973, playing 6,750 yards from the championship tees with a 73.1 rating and 123 slope over bent grass greens, and ladies' tees at 5,034 yards extending the course's range for mixed groups. The club permits walking with a soft-spikes-only policy, and amenities include golf cart rental, GPS systems, a driving range, putting green, and a dedicated practice hole. Yufukogen, meaning Yufu highland, sits in the scenic valley beneath Mount Yufu alongside Yufuin Country Club and Oita Sunny Hills Golf Club at separate addresses, giving visitors to the valley three distinct courses to choose from during a longer stay. The Yufuin area is one of Kyushu's most popular hot spring destinations, known for its relaxed, art-and-craft-oriented town center and mountain scenery, quite different in character from the larger, more urban Beppu hot spring district over the ridge. Having operated for five decades, the course carries a settled, well-conditioned character typical of Japan's established resort-valley clubs. Golfers planning a Yufuin-area golf and hot spring trip through CoGolfers can compare this course against its two valley neighbors, and the community is a good place to find others heading to this popular destination.
