About This Course

Ibaraki Kogen Country Club is a scenic 18-hole course situated near the summit of a 650-meter-high plateau in Osaka. Despite its hillside location, the course features mostly flat fairways, offering enjoyable and strategic play. The front nine provide wide-open views of the Hokusetsu mountain range, while the back nine present varied and challenging layouts requiring precise shots. Golfers can enjoy stunning panoramas of Osaka city and Osaka Bay from the greens. The course allows players to choose between self-play using electric carts or playing with a caddie. Conveniently accessible from Osaka, it’s an ideal spot for refreshing highland golf.

Playing Tips

The front nine features wide, open fairways with mountain views so you can be aggressive off the tee but avoid over-drives that leave difficult approaches.

The back nine presents more varied and strategic hole layouts that reward accurate tee shots and well-placed approaches into tighter landing zones.

Sitting at roughly 650 meters elevation, the ball will generally carry a bit farther than at sea level, so reduce club selection slightly on long shots.

Bentgrass greens here tend to be true and can run quickly, so take extra time to read subtle breaks and focus on controlling putt speed.

Winds often pick up on the plateau, especially in the morning and late afternoon, so consider lower-trajectory shots when it’s gusty and use a caddie if you want local slope and pin placement advice.
