Fukuyama Golf Club is located in Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, at 1225-1 Nakatsuhara, Mikyo-cho, Fukuyama City. Established in 1953, it is recognized as the oldest golf course in the Fukuyama area. The course is designed as a 9-hole layout that is configured to play as 18 holes, utilizing a double-loop system where the front nine and back nine share the same physical holes but are played in opposite directions or with different tee placements to create distinct routing and challenges. The course features a mix of par 3, par 4, and par 5 holes. The front nine (holes 1-9) and back nine (holes 10-18) are played on the same terrain, with the par distribution typically including two par 5s, four par 4s, and three par 3s for the full 18-hole round. The course is known for its well-maintained Korai grass greens, which are noted for their consistent playing conditions. The setting is accessible and casual, designed to be a community-focused facility that has remained popular with local golfers despite occasional challenges from natural disasters such as flooding. Fukuyama Golf Club operates with a membership structure but maintains an atmosphere comparable to a public course, emphasizing accessibility and local engagement. The facility includes standard amenities such as a driving range, practice greens, cart services, a restaurant and lounge, a large public bath, and locker rooms. The course does not appear to have a history of hosting major professional tournaments, but it does maintain records of local competition results for its members. The layout is straightforward, focusing on traditional golf challenges without extreme terrain or complex design elements, making it a reliable and familiar course for regular play.
