Osaka Golf Club

The Osaka Golf Club opened in 1937 and was originally designed by Osamu Ueda. The course has since undergone a rich yet up-and-down history as the property was given by mandate to the Japanese military during World War II before the club reopened for good in 1960. The club is located an hour outside of Osaka and sits on a pine-tree lined property overlooking the Osaka Bay. The track is characterized by tight holes, steep undulations and breathtaking views of the ocean. The front side features four greens overlooking the sea, highlighted by the par-4 seventh playing over a tree-lined canyon and then to a steep segmented fairway with a downhill three-pointed green. The back nine is known for the par-3 14th, which is flanked the entire length of the hole by the ocean and forcing players to carry their tee shot over a steep ravine. The Osaka Golf Club beautifully balances quality golf with a stunning environment.
