Oita C.C. Yoshino Course ☆ Follow

The Oita Country Club is located in Oita City, Oita Prefecture, Japan, and features two distinct 18-hole championship courses: the Tsukigata Course and the Yoshino Course. The facility is operated by Oita Kanko Development Co., Ltd., with the main office and the Tsukigata Course situated in the Tsukigata district and the Yoshino Course located in the Hagi-o district. Both courses are accessible via the Yura Interchange on the highway, requiring approximately 30 minutes of driving to reach. The Yoshino Course is a par 72 layout with a total length of 7,177 yards from the back tees. It features wide fairways designed to accommodate long hitters, offering a challenging experience for skilled players. The course includes a variety of hole lengths, with par-5s reaching up to 556 yards from the back tees and par-3s ranging from 140 to 209 yards. The front tees provide a shorter, more accessible version of the course, with the total yardage dropping to 6,643 yards from the regular tees. A defining characteristic of the Yoshino Course is its 18th hole, a par-5 that requires a shot over water. This finishing hole adds significant pressure to the final stretch of the round, ensuring that players must maintain focus until the very end. The course design emphasizes distance and precision, with the wide fairways allowing for aggressive play but demanding accuracy to avoid hazards. The layout is described as a champion course, suggesting a design that tests the full range of a golfer's abilities. The facility also maintains the Tsukigata Course, another 18-hole, par 72 layout. This course features two putting greens and one approach green, along with a driving range with 15 bays extending 250 yards. The Yoshino Course has two putting greens and a smaller driving range with three bays. Both courses host regular member tournaments and competitions, with specific guidelines and announcements provided to members throughout the year. The club offers online booking for both courses, with separate reservation systems for each layout, and provides rental tee times for visitors through affiliated booking platforms.
