APGA COURSE PROFILE

Hyogo, Kansai

Naruo Golf Club

A historic Japanese mountain course whose character follows the land.

THE COURSE IN CONTEXT

A mountain-links character

Founded in 1920, Naruo lets the natural movement of its hillside setting set the terms of play. Its classic strategy and strongly individual terrain make it an essential Kansai chapter in Japan’s golf culture.

At Naruo, strategy is shaped less by artificial drama than by the natural movement of the land. The more closely you read trajectory, landing area and the view to the next shot, the more clearly the course reveals itself. It gives a classic-course journey through Kansai an essential counterpoint.
