About This Course

Mikano-hara Country Club in Kyoto offers a diverse 36-hole layout spread across two main courses. The Kamo Out course is generally flat with variations created by pine forests and scattered ponds, while the Kamo In course features a highland atmosphere where each hole presents a unique character, favoring strong, strategic shots. The Mikasa Out course is longer and grand in scale, and the Mikasa In course, though shorter, demands thoughtful play with its rich strategic elements. This club provides a well-rounded golfing experience set in a scenic Kansai region location.

Playing Tips

On the Kamo Out course fairways are relatively flat but framed by pine stands and ponds, so prioritize accurate tee shots over sheer distance to avoid trouble.

Kamo In has a highland feel with elevation changes and uneven lies that often require stronger shots and careful club selection to carry or hold greens.

Mikasa Out is long and demands distance and smart course management, so play to wider landing areas and avoid forcing long carries over hazards.

Mikasa In is shorter but very strategic with tighter landing zones and approach angles, so focus on placement and short-game precision around Bentgrass greens.

Greens are Bentgrass and typically true and potentially quick, so pay attention to pace and subtle breaks when planning approach and putting lines.
