Lake Forest Resort The Century Course

Lake Forest Resort The Century Course has operated as a parkland-style resort course in Minamiyamashiro-mura, in southeastern Kyoto prefecture near the Nara border, since 1987, playing a substantial 7,069 yards from the blue tees with a 72.4 rating over bent grass greens, with additional tees down to 5,340 yards for a more approachable round. As the flagship 18-hole layout at the wider Lake Forest Resort property, the Century Course shares its address with the resort's separate nine-hole Bird Spring Course, which itself splits into three individually named nines, giving the resort a genuinely large total golf footprint across its grounds. Facilities include golf carts with GPS and a full-service restaurant, and the club accepts a broad range of credit cards including Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Diners, American Express, and UnionPay. Minamiyamashiro-mura sits along the Kizu River in a rural, hilly corner of southeastern Kyoto prefecture, within reach of both Nara's ancient temples and Kyoto's own historic core, giving golfers at Lake Forest Resort a genuinely central base for exploring the wider Kansai region beyond the course itself. The resort's considerable length at just over 7,000 yards makes the Century Course a serious test for stronger players visiting the area. Golfers looking for a resort-style base between Kyoto and Nara through CoGolfers can consider Lake Forest Resort's Century Course, and the community is a good place to find others planning a multi-round stay at the property.
