Kobe Country Club - Kobe Course

Kobe Country Club's Kobe Course opened in 2010 in the Yamada district of Kobe's Kita-ku ward, designed by Jack Nicklaus alongside his son Steve Nicklaus, and stretching to a substantial 7,204 yards from the black tees. The Nicklaus design pedigree brings one of golf's most recognized names directly to this stretch of northern Kobe, part of a broader pattern of major international architects working on Japan's more prestigious later-era golf developments. As one of the more recently built clubs in the Kita-ku corridor, Kobe Country Club offers considerably more modern conditioning and shaping standards than many of the ward's older 1960s and 1970s facilities nearby. Its nearly 7,204-yard scale makes it one of the longer, more championship-oriented tests anywhere in Hyogo prefecture, appealing to accomplished golfers seeking a serious challenge. Yamada district sits within a genuine cluster of Kita-ku clubs, including the separately located Rokko Kokusai Golf Club and its associated public course nearby. Golfers seeking a Jack Nicklaus design within Kobe city limits through CoGolfers can look specifically for Kobe Country Club's Kobe Course, and the community is a good place to find others interested in the club's modern championship layout.
