奈良県

Nara Public Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-70 facility located in Nara City, designed by Masayoshi Horishita and opened in November 1973. The course spans 5,500 yards from the back tees and is characterized by a layout where each hole on the outward nine is separated by small hills. The design utilizes Korean grass for the greens and operates as a public course managed by the Kansan Golf Course Association. The outward nine presents a mix of long challenges and technical short holes. The first hole is a 500-yard par-5 dogleg right, where a drive reaching the bunker at 260 yards sets up a two-shot approach. The second hole is a demanding 100-yard par-3 with a downhill shot to a right or left green, requiring precise distance control. The fifth hole is a flat 330-yard par-4 where avoiding the out-of-bounds on the right is critical. The sixth hole, a 470-yard par-5, is recommended for long hitters, while the ninth hole is a 150-yard par-3 carrying water, where players are advised to club up to avoid the hazard short. The inward nine features significant elevation changes and water hazards. The tenth hole is a 475-yard par-5 requiring a long uphill drive to a relatively flat area. The twelfth hole is a 490-yard par-5 with a steep downhill tee shot and undulating terrain for subsequent shots. The thirteenth hole is a 180-yard par-3 carrying a valley, with out-of-bounds areas guarding the left and right sides of the green. The seventeenth hole is a 130-yard par-3 with a two-tiered green and subtle undulations that can lead to three-putts if the ball is not placed precisely. The eighteenth hole serves as a dramatic finish, described as a 290-yard par-4 with expansive views. It is a downhill shot where wind direction requires careful attention, and players are advised to prioritize a two-shot round over attempting to reach the green in one. The course also features a twelfth hole as a recommended long-drive target and a seventeenth hole as a recommended close-to-the-pin target.

Naruo GC Follow

兵庫県

Naruo Golf Club is an 18-hole course located in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The layout is widely recognized as a "mountain links" course, a design that emerged from the collaboration of the Crane brothers and the renowned architect Charles H. Allison. The Crane brothers, who were members of the club, initially sought out the terrain for its suitability for golf, envisioning an inland course reminiscent of British links. Their vision was realized in 1931 when Allison refined the routing, creating a unique layout that utilizes the natural topography of the hills and valleys. The course is characterized by its dramatic elevation changes, requiring players to descend valleys and climb hills throughout the round. A defining feature of the Naruo layout is its bunkering. Allison’s design places deep bunkers that act as walls around the greens, which often appear as small islands due to the surrounding hazards. The bunkers are designed with significant depth and steep edges, often incorporating undulations that flow directly from the green, demanding precise shot-making and strategic decision-making from tee to green. Naruo has a rich history of hosting major official tournaments. The club hosted the first Japan Open Golf Championship in 1936, which was won by Rikizo Miyamoto. It has also been the venue for the Japan Amateur Golf Championship, the Japan Senior Open, and the Japan Mid-Amateur Championship. The course has consistently hosted the Kansai Open and the Kansai Amateur Championship since the 1920s, establishing itself as a premier destination for competitive golf in the Kansai region. The course is maintained with a specific focus on its native grass surfaces. The greens were originally planted with Korean bentgrass and were later converted to a new variety known as "Naruo Turf" in 2022. This transition was part of a long-term effort to improve putting quality while maintaining the classic character of the course. The fairways and roughs are managed to preserve the natural feel of the landscape, with native grasses allowed to grow in areas that do not impede play, contributing to the course's distinct "classic and original" identity.
