Things you should know about golf in Ishikawa
More than 20 courses are scattered in areas close to the coastline.
Ishikawa Prefecture stretches long and narrow from north to south, with the Noto Peninsula in the north jutting out into the Sea of Japan. The topographical characteristics of Noto in the north and Kaga in the south differ significantly. Noto is largely dominated by hilly terrain with elevations below 300 m. In contrast, Kaga has a developed mountainous region featuring Mount Hakusan (the highest peak at 2,702 m) and plains along the coastline formed by the erosion and sedimentation of rivers flowing from the mountains. There are no golf courses in the mountainous areas; instead, more than 20 courses are scattered across the plains and hills near the coastline.
In addition to air travel, access via the Hokuriku Shinkansen has also become more convenient.
Ishikawa Prefecture is served by Komatsu Airport and Noto Airport (Noto Satoyama Airport). Komatsu Airport operates four domestic routes—Haneda, Sapporo (New Chitose), Fukuoka, and Naha—while Noto Airport operates a single route to and from Haneda. Air travel was once the primary means of access from the Tokyo metropolitan area, but accessibility by Shinkansen became convenient following the 2015 opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen line between Nagano and Kanazawa. On March 16, 2024, the line further extended from Kanazawa to Tsuruga, connecting to Komatsu and Kaga-Onsen Stations. As a result, access to golf courses throughout the entire Ishikawa Prefecture has become much smoother.
Kanazawa Central Country Club is popular for being the closest course to downtown Kanazawa.
With over 450,000 of its approximately 1.1 million residents living in the prefectural capital of Kanazawa, the city is both the nominal and actual center of Ishikawa Prefecture. Located in the area closest to the heart of Kanazawa is Kanazawa Central Country Club, which is well-loved by both local golfers and tourists. Ishikawa Golf Club also enjoys excellent access from Kanazawa City. Its 27 holes, divided into East, West, and South courses, are separated by mature, well-grown trees, and the club has an established reputation for its highly strategic layout.
