Recommended golf coursesKobe / Arima
This 36-hole club fits an itinerary that gives a whole day to golf from an Osaka hotel. At par 144 and 14,004 yards, you can play 18 twice or play once and finish on the range (06:30–18:00). It sits in Ogo-cho, Kita Ward, Kobe, so leave plenty of one-way travel time from central Osaka.
Recommended golf coursesHyogo / Miki
This suits a golfer who wants to walk a tour-event course between sightseeing days. It has staged a women's professional tour event since 2005, has water on 14 holes and measures 6,840 yards at par 72, a full day's test. It is in Yokawa-cho, Miki.
Recommended golf coursesNorth Kobe
If your sightseeing ends in the daytime, HIBARI suits an evening round. It is par 60 over 2,930 yards, with the range and restaurant listed 07:00–24:00, so after a Kyoto day you can return to Osaka and head out to Takarazuka for a night tee time. It takes half a day rather than a whole one.
Recommended golf coursesKobe / Rokko
If Kobe sightseeing around Sannomiya or Kitano is already planned, Rokko Country Club lies in the same direction. At 7,061 yards (par 72) and host of the 2014 Kansai Open, it gives you a day clearly set apart from the city visits. The restaurant is listed 07:30–14:30, so a morning tee time followed by an afternoon in Kobe works. The minimum group is three.
Recommended golf coursesHyogo / Miki
This 27-hole club suits a group that can clear a whole day. It is par 108 over 10,053 yards, and you pick two of East, Naka and West.
Recommended golf coursesHyogo / Takarazuka
Located in Takarazuka, reached from Osaka Umeda on the Hankyu line, this 36-hole club sits closest to a sightseeing schedule. It covers 13,365 yards at par 144 with a choice of pairings from four nines, and the range and restaurant are listed from 10:00, so a morning of sightseeing followed by a late-morning departure works. It suits golfers curious about a 120-bunker test.
An Osaka base is convenient for city plans, while a private car simplifies access to suburban Kobe and Hyogo courses for groups with bags.
On a two-night trip, a middle-day round generally leaves the most flexibility around both flights.
