Highland golf in Yamato, home of the Tsujun Bridge
Yabe Sunvalley Country Club lies in Yamato Town in Kumamoto's Kamimashiki district, in the green uplands southeast of Kumamoto City. It opened in September 1975 to a design by Yasuo Itami and is an 18-hole, par-72 hill course of about 6,370 yards from the back tees, with bentgrass greens and a JGA-certified course rating. Each nine has two par 3s and two par 5s. Play is self-play with riding carts, and visitors are welcome.
A quiet country club with fifty years of history, far from the crowds.
After the round, the large bath looks out on the surrounding nature. Its wall has a tile mural of the Tsujun Bridge, made to order by an Arita kiln. The real bridge, Yamato's famous stone aqueduct, is close by and makes a good stop on a drive through the area. Head on toward Takachiho and its gorge, or spend a night in Kumamoto City. The club is about three minutes from the Yabe Nakajima-Nishi interchange on the free expressway section from Kumamoto. A taxi from JR Kumamoto Station takes about an hour, so a rental car is the easiest option.
