Kao Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course set in the hilly terrain of Yamaga, Kumamoto Prefecture. The course opened in 1993 and was designed by Fudo Construction Co., Ltd. It plays to a total yardage of 6,790 yards from the back tees, giving golfers a genuine test across its full length. The layout follows the natural contours of the hills in this part of Kumamoto, a region north of Kumamoto City known for its rural landscape. Access is straightforward for visitors driving from the Kyushu Expressway: the course sits roughly 10 minutes from both Kikusui Interchange and Ueki Interchange, making it a convenient stop for golfers touring the area. The address is 837 Nioudo, Kao-machi, Yamaga-shi, Kumamoto. With one 18-hole course on the property, Kao Golf Club offers a single, focused round rather than a choice of combinations, which keeps the pace of play and course management consistent throughout. For golfers exploring Kumamoto's inland courses, Kao Golf Club's 1993 hilly design and dual-interchange access make it a practical addition to an itinerary in the region.
