Kinosaki Country Club

Kinosaki Country Club has played near Toyooka city on Hyogo's northern Sea of Japan coast since 1968, offering 5,516 yards from the back tees down to 4,364 yards from the ladies' markers at a par of 70. The club takes its name from nearby Kinosaki Onsen, one of Japan's most celebrated traditional hot spring towns, famous for its willow-lined canal, wooden footbridges, and visitors strolling between bathhouses in yukata robes. That proximity makes a round at Kinosaki Country Club a natural complement to an onsen town visit, pairing golf with one of the region's premier tourism draws. As one of the older clubs on Hyogo's northern coast, dating to 1968, the course predates much of the area's later tourism development around the hot spring town. The shorter overall yardage and par-70 routing suggest a more compact, walkable layout suited to the area's coastal terrain. Toyooka's broader identity as a conservation center for the Oriental white stork adds another layer of interest to visits in this part of the prefecture. Golfers combining a Kinosaki Onsen getaway with a round through CoGolfers can add Kinosaki Country Club to that itinerary, and the community is a good place to find others planning the same trip.
