Kasagi Golf Club

Kasagi Golf Club has operated as a semi-private course open to the public in Kasagi-cho, on Kyoto prefecture's southern border with Nara, since 2000, playing a substantial 7,011 yards from the championship tees with a 74.9 rating and 131 slope, among the longer tests found in this part of Kansai. Tee options ranging down to 5,216 yards give the course workable flexibility for groups of mixed ability despite its serious back-tee length. The club offers golf cart and club rentals, a driving range, and restaurant facilities, and operates year round. Kasagi-cho takes its name from Mount Kasagi and the historic Kasagidera temple ruins nearby, a site significant in the fourteenth-century conflict between the Southern and Northern Courts, giving the area a genuine layer of medieval Japanese history for visitors to explore alongside their round. The town sits along the Kizu River near the Kyoto-Nara border, an area also home to Lake Forest Resort's multiple courses and Tsukigase Country Club within a short drive, giving this southeastern corner of Kyoto prefecture a real concentration of golf options. Being one of the newer clubs in the prefecture, Kasagi offers more contemporary conditioning than many of the region's 1960s and 1970s-era courses. Golfers looking for a long, modern test near the Nara border through CoGolfers can consider Kasagi Golf Club, and the community is a good place to find partners for its considerable length.
