Okayama Kinryo Country Club

岡山市, 岡山県, Japan

Okayama Kinryo Country Club is an 18-hole championship golf course with a par of 72, located near Okayama Momotaro Airport. The course features multiple tee options accommodating players of varying skill levels, with distances ranging from 4,658 yards (Pink tees) to 6,900 yards (Back tees). The layout includes four par-5 holes, ten par-4 holes, and four par-3 holes distributed across the outward and inward nines. The course incorporates varied terrain with elevation changes, including several uphill and downhill holes that require distance adjustments. Notable design features include multiple doglegs, strategic bunkering, water hazards (notably a pond on the closing hole), and two-tiered greens on select holes such as No. 7 and No. 17. The course presents moderate to challenging difficulty, with tee assignments based on player age and gender. The back nine includes several signature holes, particularly the closing par-5 18th hole with its pond guarding the right side and bunkers protecting the left. Fairway positioning and accurate distance control are emphasized throughout the course design, requiring players to manage strategic hazard placement and undulating green complexes.
