The course
A 27-hole members' club in the hills of Sakai, south Osaka, host of the 2025 Panasonic Open.
Izumigaoka Country Club is a private members' club in the hills of Sakai, looking north over the Osaka skyline. Chohei Miyazawa laid out its three nines, Katsuragi, Iwawaki and Kongo, which opened in 1975 and were later renovated under Chikara Kohagura. Katsuragi asks for carries over valleys, Iwawaki opens up for the driver, and Kongo rewards placement over power. Play is normally by a member's introduction; PRESERVE requests the tee time for visitors. A caddie and riding cart are standard.
