Ikenodaira Golf Course

Ikenodaira Golf Course is a 9-hole, par-30 short course located in the Kii Peninsula mountains at an elevation of 400 meters within Yoshino-Kumano National Park. Set amid surrounding green mountains, the course offers scenic woodland views and is characterized by tranquil natural surroundings where players can enjoy birdsong during play.

The course spans 1,756 yards across its nine holes, providing an accessible golfing experience suitable for various skill levels. Its short-course format makes it ideal for golfers seeking a relaxed round in nature rather than a championship-length challenge. The relatively modest yardage combined with the par-30 layout indicates manageable hole lengths that emphasize accuracy and technique.

Ikenodaira has held historical significance for Shimokitayama Village, developing alongside the community over time. The course benefits from its mountain setting within a national park, offering golfers the opportunity to experience Japanese countryside landscapes. Equipment rental options including clubs, carts, and shoes are available, making the course accessible to visitors without their own gear. The facility operates daily except Tuesdays and has maintained its role as a regional recreational destination.
