The course

Founded 1920 in Inagawa, Hyogo. C.H. Alison consultations gave its bunkering its distinctive depth.

Heritage

What we preserve

Naruo Golf Club was founded in 1920 in Inagawa, north of Kobe, by members of the original Kobe Golf Club seeking a course closer to Osaka. The layout was redesigned with Charles H. Alison's input in the early 1930s, giving the course the deep, sand-faced bunkers that are still its defining feature. Naruo is one of only a handful of pre-1930 Japanese clubs whose original character has survived intact, and consistently ranks in Japan's top five. The site's rolling pine-forested terrain, narrow corridors, and small undulating greens make precision off the tee essential. Member-only access.
