## About the course

Daily Shigaraki Country Club lies in the wooded highlands of Tarao, on the southern edge of Koka in Shiga Prefecture. Opened in September 1988 and designed by Mitsuaki Kobayashi, it offers 27 holes at par 108, split into three nines named Yagyu, Koka and Iga after the historic districts that meet in this corner of Japan. From the back tees the full 27 stretch to 10,515 yards with a course rating of 73.5, and the layout winds through forest with water hazards placed to make you think on the tee.

### Three nines named for samurai country, _set deep in quiet Shiga forest._

This is a members' club, so visitors need a member to accompany or introduce them, but those who get a tee time find a peaceful, scenic course with both caddie and riding-cart play, a bath, and the on-site Shigaraki no Sato House for staying over. The surrounding area is famous for Shigaraki ware, with kilns, pottery shops and its well-known tanuki figures in the town nearby, while the ninja heritage of Koka and Iga-Ueno is close at hand. By car it is about 15 minutes from Shigaraki IC on the Shin-Meishin Expressway; Kyoto, Osaka and Nara are all within a comfortable drive.
