About this course

Fuji OGM Golf Club's Ono Course is an Arnold Palmer design located in Ono, a city in central Hyogo Prefecture in Japan's Kansai region. The course sits in an area characterized by rolling terrain and agricultural land, positioned inland from the major urban centers of Kobe and Osaka. Palmer's work in Japan during the latter decades of the twentieth century often emphasized strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward accurate approach play, and the Ono Course follows this general template within the constraints of its site. The routing makes use of the property's natural elevation changes, with holes moving through varied topography that creates different playing angles and shot requirements throughout the round. The design incorporates Palmer's preference for risk-reward opportunities, particularly on par-fives where longer hitters can attempt to reach greens in two shots but must navigate hazards and contoured landing areas. Green sites feature the undulation and tiering common to courses built for Japanese golf, where precise distance control becomes essential. Fuji OGM operates multiple golf facilities across Japan, and the Ono Course serves both members and daily-fee players in the Hyogo region. The club provides the amenities typical of Japanese golf clubs, including practice facilities and clubhouse dining. The course offers a Palmer design experience in a region of Japan known more for its rural character and traditional industries than for dense golf course development, making it a representative example of golf architecture brought to less urbanized areas of the country during Japan's golf expansion era.

Getting there

The journey to Fuji OGM Golf Club typically begins at Kansai International Airport (KIX) in Osaka, roughly ninety minutes west by car through the fertile plains and low hills of Hyogo Prefecture. As the expressway gives way to narrower regional roads, the landscape shifts from industrial corridors to terraced rice paddies and forested ridgelines, the air growing quieter as you climb toward Ono. The final approach winds through rural villages and cedar groves, delivering you to the secluded grounds of Fuji OGM - a sanctuary carved into the gentle highlands where golf unfolds far from the clamor of Japan's coastal cities.
