## About the course

GS. Star Resort Golf Club (formerly Sayo Star Resort) sits in Sayo, in the rural west of Hyogo Prefecture, at the heart of a resort that also includes a hotel, tennis courts and a natural hot spring. Opened in 1975, it now plays as 18 holes, par 72, over two hillside nines. The East Course is the long, open championship-style nine, with valley carries such as the downhill par-3 8th; the South Course, designed by Akira Hattori, threads past ponds and stylish villas lining the fairways for an almost overseas feel, finishing at a three-tier green.

### Big hills and valley carries, _then a soak in the resort's own hot spring._

The resort's 350-yard driving range is one of the largest in western Japan, and GPS carts make the hilly layout easy going. After golf, the Hōrai no Yu natural hot spring offers a soothing alkaline soak, and the GS. Fusion Hotel makes an overnight stay simple. Sayo is a quiet farming town in the Harima highlands, a good base for exploring the Sayo countryside and the castle town of Tatsuno. The resort is about a minute from Sayo IC on the Chugoku Expressway, roughly 60 minutes from Chugoku-Ikeda, and Sayo Station can be reached from Osaka in about 90 minutes by the Super Hakuto limited express.
