Nakatsu Country Club

Nakatsu Country Club has operated as a semi-private facility in Nakatsu city, on Oita's northern border with Fukuoka prefecture, since 1974, playing 6,469 yards from the blue tees with five tee options ranging from 4,718 to 6,582 yards, giving the course genuine flexibility across a very broad range of playing ability. Facilities include golf carts, pull carts, and club rentals, along with practice amenities including a bunker and putting green, and the course explicitly welcomes walkers who prefer to take in the surrounding countryside on foot. Nakatsu city is historically significant as the former castle town of the Okudaira clan and is closely associated with Fukuzawa Yukichi, one of modern Japan's most influential thinkers and the founder of Keio University, whose childhood home is preserved in the city. The course's position near the Fukuoka border makes it a convenient stop for golfers traveling between the two prefectures. Having operated for exactly fifty years as of the mid-2020s, the club carries a settled, well-established character. Golfers visiting Nakatsu for its historical sites through CoGolfers can add a round here to the itinerary, and checking the community for local members is a good way to plan the visit.
