White Course
Aso Iizuka Golf Club
About this course
Aso Iizuka Golf Club's White Course is located in Kaho, a city in Fukuoka Prefecture on Japan's Kyushu island. The course was designed by Yoshimasa Fujii, a Japanese architect whose work reflects the mid-to-late 20th century development period when golf expanded significantly across Japan's regions beyond the traditional centers near Tokyo and Osaka. The Fukuoka area, positioned in northern Kyushu, features varied terrain that transitions from coastal plains to more elevated inland areas. Courses in this region typically work with rolling topography and benefit from a climate that supports year-round play, though the area experiences distinct seasonal changes including warm, humid summers and mild winters. The White Course designation suggests this is part of a multi-course facility, a common structure at larger Japanese golf clubs where different nines or eighteens are distinguished by color names. Fujii's design work during Japan's golf boom era generally emphasized playability for a broad membership base while incorporating the natural land features available. Courses from this period in regional Japan tend to feature tree-lined fairways, strategic bunkering, and greens that require careful approach play. The club serves golfers in the Fukuoka metropolitan area and surrounding communities in northern Kyushu, providing a golf experience characteristic of Japan's established regional clubs where attention to course conditioning and traditional service standards are maintained throughout the season.

Getting there
Most international visitors arrive via Fukuoka Airport, roughly an hour's drive northeast through the rolling countryside of central Kyushu. The route traces the edge of the Chikuho basin before climbing gently into the foothills that cradle Aso Iizuka Golf Club, where the landscape begins to hint at the volcanic drama of Mount Aso to the east. For those seeking discretion, private aviation can be arranged through smaller regional facilities, though the drive from Fukuoka remains the most seamless approach. The final kilometers wind through quiet farmland and low ridges, delivering you to a club that sits in serene remove from the bustle of the prefecture's coastal capital.
