Amagase Onsen Country Club

Amagase Onsen Country Club has operated as a semi-private parkland course in Hita city since 1967, playing 6,459 yards from the blue tees with a 70.7 rating and 121 slope over bent grass greens. The club enforces a soft-spikes-only policy and a dress code prohibiting jeans and t-shirts, reflecting its slightly more formal, tradition-minded character. Facilities include golf carts, caddie service, a putting green, restaurant, and locker rooms for members and visiting guests. The club takes its name from Amagase Onsen, a hot spring district along the Chikugo river known for its riverside bathhouses and the annual summer fireworks displayed over the water, giving golfers visiting the course a natural reason to extend their stay with an onsen soak afterward. Hita city itself is a historic river town in western Oita known for its well-preserved Edo-period merchant quarter and as a hub for the surrounding Kyushu mountain region. Having operated for nearly six decades, the club carries the settled, well-maintained character typical of Japan's established country clubs. Golfers combining a round of golf with an onsen visit in Hita through CoGolfers can pair Amagase Onsen Country Club with a stay at one of the district's traditional inns, and the community is a good place to find others planning a similar golf-and-onsen trip.
