The Kaimon course is a beautiful scenic course lying at the foot of the Satsumafuji Kaimon Mountain at the southernmost point of Satsuma peninsula and utilizes natural geographical features. For the course design, the prominent contemporary designer, Mr. Seiichi Inoue was brought in and he completed the course based on his strong intention of creating a place 'for a professional tournament'. Hazards throughout on the course as well as 'Kaimon Oroshi', the gust of wind blowing down the Kaimon Mountain and 'Umikaze', the sea wind blowing up from the ocean play the determinants of the relative difficulty of the course. The 18 holes with a combination of easiness and difficulty are full of strategicness. The average area of 800 square meters of undulate bent grass greens are superbly maintained despite the fact that the course lies at the southernmost point of the Japanese mainland. Every year our course receives great praise and has an outstanding reputation among professional golfers who compete in tournaments overseas.

For 24 years from 1981 to 2004, the Casio World Open professional golf tournament was held here, and even Tiger Woods has competed on this authentic championship course.
Since 2013,「the Iwasaki Shiratsuyu Senior Golf Tournament」a PGA Senior Tournament , has been held here, gathering top pros from the past.

Release your body and mind and experience the best golf on the southernmost tip of the mainland.
