Sumoto Golf Club

Sumoto Golf Club has operated on Awaji Island, in the island's main city of Sumoto, since 1965, designed by Osamu Ueda and stretching to 7,002 yards from the back tees. Sumoto serves as Awaji Island's administrative center and a popular tourist base, known for its castle ruins, hot springs, and convenient access via the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge connecting the island to the Hyogo mainland. Ueda's design work, found at numerous courses across the Banshu region on the mainland, extends here to the island itself, giving Sumoto Golf Club a connection to the same prolific architect responsible for several of Hyogo's mainland layouts. Having operated since 1965, the club is among the older golf facilities on Awaji Island, predating much of the island's later tourism development that followed the bridge's completion decades later. The island's mild climate and coastal terrain give the course a genuinely different character from the mainland Hyogo clubs, often with milder year-round conditions. Golfers planning an Awaji Island golf trip through CoGolfers can consider Sumoto Golf Club for its substantial length and convenient position in the island's main city, and the community is a good place to find others exploring this scenic island destination.
