Senior Monthly Cup

Oita Central Golf Club

大分県, Japan

Oita Central Golf Club is an 18-hole, par 71 course located in Oita City, Oita Prefecture, Japan. The course was designed by Iwao Noma and Koji Nakamura and opened in June 1973. It is situated in a frost-free zone, allowing for warm winter conditions, and is accessible within 25 minutes from the city center. The layout is classified as a hilly course, yet the terrain is notably flat, which contributes to a round that does not induce excessive fatigue. The setting offers views of three representative mountains in the Oita region: Mount Takasaki, Mount Tsurumi, and Mount Yufu. A deep valley stream runs through the center of the property, separating the out and in courses. The course ratings are listed as 71.1 for Black Tees, 69.2 for Red Tees, 67.9 for White Tees, and 66.4 for Light Tees. Play is conducted as a self-play round using GPS-enabled electric carts. The club hosts a variety of annual competitions, including the Captain Cup, the Grand Senior Championship, and the Oita Central Golf Club Championship. It also supports senior and ladies' leagues, with regular monthly tournaments scheduled throughout the year. The facility includes a restaurant serving local specialties, a bathhouse, and practice areas including a driving range, putting green, and bunker approach zone.
