## About the course

Golf Links Takatsuki eNe sits in Otsuka-cho, Takatsuki, almost exactly halfway between Osaka and Kyoto and about 20 minutes by car from either. The club dates back to 1959, and today's par-70, 18-hole layout has been reshaped with a links-inspired design by Kozaburo Sakashita, Junichi Yoshimura and Y's Contour Magic. At around 5,400 yards it is friendly in length, but Scottish-style bunkers, ponds and wildly rolling greens, including a huge three-tier green on the 13th, give it plenty of bite.

### Eighteen holes straight through, on foot, _the way golf was meant to be played._

The eNe style is walking golf: 18 holes in one go with power pull carts, no long lunch break, and a casual, welcoming feel that suits beginners, seniors and solo players alike. There is a 33-bay practice range and simple shower facilities rather than a grand clubhouse, so it is perfect for a quick morning round before sightseeing. Kyoto's temples are a short train ride away, and Takatsuki itself is known for the Imashirozuka burial mound and its lively food streets. Without a car, take the Keihan Bus from JR Takatsuki or Hankyu Takatsukishi Station to Hirakata Ohashi Kitaguchi, about 15 minutes, and the course is a minute's walk from the stop.
