About This Course

Ketoin Golf Club is a nearly flat hilly course located in Satsumasendai, Kagoshima. While it avoids complex features, its overall length and strategically placed bunkers—totaling 107—make it a challenging test for golfers aiming for birdies. The course features a single large bentgrass green measuring about 1,000 square meters, adding to the strategic approach required. Golfers can enjoy the convenience of ride-on carts permitted on the course, all equipped with navigation systems that provide distances, score tracking, and playtime monitoring. This combination of length, challenge, and modern amenities offers an engaging experience for players of various levels.

Playing Tips

The course is relatively long so balance distance off the tee with accuracy since fairways are not especially wide.

With 107 bunkers placed throughout, plan tee and approach angles to keep the ball clear of fairway and greenside traps.

The single large bentgrass green (~1,000 m²) rewards precise distance control and approach angle because poor reads can leave long, tricky putts.

Use the ride-on carts with navigation to confirm exact yardages and speed up club selection and pace of play.

When winds pick up on exposed holes, play one more club and favor conservative lines to avoid ending up in bunkers or long recovery shots.
