Tojyonomori Country Club's South Course is located in Kato, a city in the inland region of Hyogo Prefecture, positioned between Kobe and Himeji in western Japan. The area's rolling terrain, characteristic of this part of Hyogo, provides natural elevation changes that Japanese course designers typically incorporate into their routing strategies. The course occupies forested land that gives the facility its name—"Tojyo no Mori" translates to "forest of the eastern castle"—reflecting the wooded character of the property. The South Course represents one of multiple eighteen-hole layouts at this multi-course facility, a common configuration among Japanese country clubs that developed during the nation's golf expansion in the latter decades of the twentieth century. The routing works through the property's natural contours, with holes shaped by the surrounding forest and the topographical movement typical of Hyogo's inland geography. Japanese courses of this era generally emphasize strategic bunkering, well-defined fairway corridors, and greens that reward precision over distance. Tojyonomori serves a membership drawn from the broader Kansai region, including Kobe and surrounding cities. The club follows traditional Japanese country club practices, where golf is often combined with social and business functions. The facility provides the dining and hospitality amenities standard to established Japanese clubs, where post-round meals and gatherings form an integral part of the experience. The South Course operates as part of this larger club environment, offering members variety across the property's different layouts.
