Kasatori Golf Center ☆ Follow

Kasatori Golf Center is a 12-hole short course located in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Situated near the Kasatori Interchange of the Keishin Expressway, the facility is designed to be accessible for golfers of all skill levels, including beginners, women, and experienced players. The course is set within the rich natural surroundings of the Kasatori area, offering a relaxed environment for play. The layout features a mix of uphill and downhill holes, creating varied challenges throughout the round. One notable hole is a demanding uphill shot where a short drive can leave a difficult downhill approach; this hole requires precise iron play to ensure a one-putt opportunity. Another significant challenge is the course's longest and most difficult hole, which plays downhill. This hole features a large green with a slope that decreases toward the back, requiring players to hit shots with sufficient spin to stop the ball, particularly when pins are placed in forward positions. The facility includes a spacious 300-yard driving range equipped with auto-setters and climate control features, including fans and heaters in all bays. The range uses Dunlop range balls and features large, integrated mats to allow for focused practice. The course also offers night play, with lighting equipment upgraded in 2015 to provide twice the brightness of the previous system, allowing for comfortable evening rounds. A virtual reality round experience is also available for those wishing to preview the course layout.
