Sanyo Green Golf Course ☆ Follow

Sanyo Green Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 public course located in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. Designed by Ohtsu Group, the layout is situated on a hilltop that offers views of the Seto Inland Sea. The course is characterized as a hilly terrain that is relatively flat in comparison to more rugged mountain courses, yet it presents a significant challenge through the strategic placement of hazards. The design features a mix of straight middle holes, doglegs, and downhill shots that require precise strategy. While the course has relatively few bunkers, it utilizes valleys and water hazards to test the player's accuracy. The front nine includes a par-3 over a pond and a downhill left dogleg, while the back nine features several long par-4s and par-5s, including a 547-yard ninth hole and a 524-yard seventeenth. Scoring can be deceptive, as the layout may appear manageable at first glance, but the effective difficulty is heightened by the need to navigate the natural terrain and water features. The course offers multiple tee boxes to accommodate different skill levels, with yardages ranging from approximately 5,282 yards for ladies to 6,530 yards from the back tees. The course rating is listed at 70.5 for the course record and 71.6 for the bent tee. The facility includes a practice range and enforces a standard dress code that prohibits sandals, training wear, and jeans. It is a public course that welcomes individual players and groups, offering a strategic round that appeals to athletes and golfers looking for a challenging yet accessible public layout in the Yamaguchi region.
