About this course

Takarazuka Golf Club's New Course occupies hilly terrain in Hyogo Prefecture, part of the Kansai region northwest of Osaka. The club sits in Takarazuka, a city known for its hot springs and the famous all-female Takarazuka Revue theater company. The course was designed by Akira Hattori and Ohashi Goukichi, figures associated with early Japanese golf course architecture during the sport's expansion in Japan through the mid-twentieth century. The routing works through the natural contours of the landscape, typical of courses built in this mountainous region where flat land is scarce. Players encounter elevation changes and holes that move through forested corridors and across ridgelines. The design reflects the constraints and opportunities of the terrain, with green sites and fairway corridors shaped by the existing topography rather than extensive earthmoving. Takarazuka Golf Club operates in a region with a strong golf tradition, where private clubs have long served as centers of business and social life. The club maintains the formalities common to established Japanese golf clubs, including attention to pace of play, dress standards, and dining customs. The New Course designation suggests the club operates multiple layouts, a common arrangement at larger Japanese golf properties where land availability and membership demand support more than eighteen holes.

Getting there

The journey to Takarazuka Golf Club begins at Osaka's Itami Airport, a compact twenty-minute drive to the northwest, or from Kansai International for those arriving from farther afield. The route traces the edge of the Rokko Mountains, climbing gently through suburban Takarazuka - a city known for its hot springs and theatrical tradition - before the road narrows into wooded hillside. Within half an hour of leaving the Osaka basin, the urban hum fades entirely, replaced by the quiet rustle of Japanese cedar and the first glimpse of fairways carved into the mountain's flank, signaling arrival at one of Kansai's most serene and storied retreats.
