Located in Mikasagi, Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, Minagi Golf Club is a 18-hole championship course designed by Shuichi Suzuki. The layout is set on a relatively flat hillside with a total elevation change of 20 meters, offering views of the Rokko Mountains to the south. The course features Bentgrass greens and is designed with a handicap of 15, utilizing narrower fairways to create a sense of tension and strategic challenge for players. The back nine presents a particularly demanding test, with difficult holes concentrated at the finish. The 18th hole, a par 4, is noted for requiring precision in both distance and direction, serving as a dramatic conclusion to the round. Signature holes include the 4th and 15th, which are recommended for birdie attempts, and the 7th and 11th, which are suited for long drives. The 4th hole features a long, narrow three-tiered green that can significantly alter the difficulty depending on pin placement, while the 12th is a scenic par 3 requiring careful club selection due to wind conditions. Minagi Golf Club has a history of hosting significant amateur and professional tournaments. It hosted the 60th Kansai Amateur Golf Championship in 1992, the 59th Kansai Open Golf Championship in 1993, and the 46th Kansai Women's Amateur Golf Championship in 1999. The course also hosted the 47th Japan Women's Professional Golf Championship Konica Minolta Cup in 2014, where winner Ai Suzuki played on the 18th hole. Additional events include the 6th Kansai Mid-Amateur Golf Championship in 2008 and the 2009 Hyogo Open Golf Tournament.
