Wakayama Golf Club Kaji Course ☆ Follow

The Wakayama Golf Club Kaji Course is a 18-hole, par 72 facility located in Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. Situated in the Shōnan Kōshien area, the course is characterized by its flat, seaside terrain that overlooks the Seto Inland Sea. The design emphasizes a strategic layout where the expansive views of the ocean are a constant feature for players navigating the fairways. The front nine presents a mix of lengths, beginning with a long 505-yard par 5 at the first hole. The par 3s on the front side vary significantly, ranging from the short 95-yard eighth hole to the 355-yard third hole. The back nine continues this variety, highlighted by the course's signature hole: a 480-yard par 4 that serves as the demanding middle hole of the layout. Other notable distances include the 420-yard ninth hole and the 405-yard tenth hole, which opens the back nine. With a total yardage that includes several long par 4s and a substantial opening hole, the course offers a test of distance and accuracy. The flat nature of the terrain contrasts with the strategic demands of the long holes, particularly the 480-yard par 4, which stands out as the primary challenge for golfers seeking to navigate the seaside links effectively.
