Masters Golf Club ☆ Follow

Located in Mikasachō, Miki City in Hyogo Prefecture, the Masters Golf Club is a 27-hole facility set across a vast, flat hilly landscape. The course opened in 1990 and features a total length of 10,441 yards with a combined par of 108. The layout is divided into three distinct nine-hole courses: the Middle Course, the West Course, and the East Course, each offering a par 36. The fairways are described as wide and flat, yet the design incorporates strategic, high-difficulty contours and undulations that challenge players. The Middle Course, which serves as a tournament course for the Masters Golf Tournament, is characterized by its challenging nature that tests a golfer's technical skills. It features yardages ranging from 2,702 to 3,509 yards. The West Course, also used for tournament play, is noted for its strategic charm amidst beautiful tree lines and ponds where swans rest, with yardages spanning from 2,682 to 3,534 yards. The East Course, situated on the eastern side of the hilly terrain, offers a flatter experience with wide fairways, ranging from 2,694 to 3,405 yards. A defining feature of the course is the adoption of a Bent grass two-green system. The greens are approximately 700 square meters in size, allowing for clear visibility from most tees. The undulations on the putting surfaces are designed to be difficult, demanding high precision from players. Strategically placed ponds where waterfowl play add to the visual appeal and the strategic complexity of the layout. Since 2003, the club has hosted the JLPGA-sanctioned "Masters GC Ladies" tournament. The course also holds a notable place in golf history due to visits from Tiger Woods in 2001 and 2006. A plaque marking his driving point is installed on the course, allowing visitors to experience the distance of his shots. The facility is designed to provide a high-quality golfing experience, combining strategic play with the natural beauty of the Miki landscape.
