Miki Golf Club ☆ Follow

Located in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, Miki Golf Club is a 27-hole facility situated in the Mikiyama area. The course layout consists of three distinct nine-hole loops: the South, East, and West courses. The entire complex plays to a combined par of 108, with each individual nine-hole loop set at par 36. The design of the South and East courses was executed by Yoshiio Machida, while the West course was designed by Tsuneo Abe. The club opened in October 1973, expanding from an initial 18-hole configuration to the full 27 holes upon completion. The South and East courses share identical yardages and handicap distributions, while the West course offers a slightly different routing. The South and East loops feature a back tee yardage of 3,501 and 3,514 yards respectively, with course ratings of 73.8 and 73.7. The West course plays from the back tees at 3,487 yards with a course rating of 73.9. The facility transitioned to Bentgrass greens in 2000, which coincided with a revision in the official course ratings. The course presents a variety of challenges across its par 4s, 5s, and 3s. The South and East courses feature a demanding 574-yard 9th hole on the South loop and a 561-yard 7th hole on the East loop as their longest stretches. The West course includes a 615-yard 4th hole, which serves as the primary par 5 challenge on that routing. Shorter holes include the 166-yard 3rd on the West and the 172-yard 6th on the South, providing opportunities for birdie scoring. Miki Golf Club has a history of hosting significant regional and professional events. The facility hosted the Kansai Open in 2001, where Hideo Hoshino set a course record with a score of 67 (33 on the South, 34 on the East). The club also hosted the 32nd and 33rd Hyogo Prefecture Open Golf Tournaments in 2012 and 2013. In 2013, Shinji Tomura set a new course record of 63 (31 on the South, 32 on the West) during the 33rd Hyogo Open. The club is a member of the Japan Golf Association (JGA) and the Kansai Golf Union (KGU).
