Himeji Seaside Golf Course is a 18-hole, par-72 links-style course located in Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, situated on former salt fields overlooking the Harima Nada bay. The layout is characterized by its seaside setting, where the terrain is shaped by the wind and tides of the coastal environment. The course presents a total yardage of 5,976 yards from the regular tees, with a back tee distance of 6,378 yards and a ladies' yardage of 5,291 yards. The design avoids severe fairway undulation, relying instead on strategically placed hazards to test accuracy. The difficulty is heightened by the unpredictable coastal winds that sweep across the open links. The handicap distribution indicates the relative challenge of each hole, with the 8th hole rated as the hardest at handicap 1, followed by the 18th at handicap 2 and the 5th at handicap 3. Conversely, the 5th hole is the easiest at handicap 3, while the 16th is rated at handicap 10. The front nine totals 2,968 yards from the regular tees, featuring a mix of par-4s, two par-5s, and two par-3s. The back nine covers 3,008 yards, including three par-5s, four par-4s, and two par-3s. Notable holes include the 6th, a short par-3 at just 118 yards from the regular tees, and the 16th, another short par-3 measuring 133 yards. The longest holes are the 14th par-5 at 480 yards and the 8th par-4 at 436 yards from the regular tees. The course has hosted the Himeji Open Golf tournament, as referenced in past event announcements. The facility operates as a full-service golf course with amenities for players, including a restaurant known for its Nepalese curry, and offers booking options for single players as well as standard groups.
