Shiranui Golf Course

Shiranui Golf Course is a public nine-hole, par-36 facility in Omuta city that has operated since 1968, playing 3,175 yards from the back tees and 2,777 yards from the red tees over Tifton and bent grass greens, a grass combination suited to the warmer coastal climate of western Fukuoka near the Kumamoto border. The course offers golf cart and club rental, a driving range, putting green, restaurant, and locker room facilities, and welcomes walking play year-round while accepting major credit cards. Omuta city, also home to Ariake Country Club at a separate address, has a rich industrial history tied to coal mining and is home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites related to Japan's Meiji-era industrial revolution, making it a worthwhile stop for golfers interested in combining a round with some genuine historical sightseeing. The nine-hole format makes Shiranui a practical choice for a quicker round or a relaxed introduction to golf for newer players, without the time commitment of the area's full 18-hole courses. Having operated for more than fifty years, the course has built a steady local following in the Omuta area. Golfers exploring Omuta's industrial heritage sites through CoGolfers can pair that visit with a quick nine at Shiranui, and the community is a good place to find local company for a casual round.
