Things you should know about golf in Ibaraki
Many courses feature expansive layouts on flat terrain.
Located in the northeastern part of the Kanto Plain, Ibaraki Prefecture is characterized by its flatlands (lowlands and plateaus), which account for 64.4% of its total area. Since vast plains stretch across the Southern, Western, Rokko (Kashima, Namegata, Hokota, Itako, and Kamisu), and Central regions—all with excellent access from Tokyo—the predominant style of golf course here features flat terrain skillfully integrated with water hazards and trees. Ranking third in the Kanto region for the number of golf courses, following Chiba and Tochigi, Ibaraki is a highly popular area for seniors and women due to the minimal elevation changes.
In close proximity to the city center via the Joban and Higashi-Kanto Expressways.
To access golf courses in Ibaraki, golfers from the Tokyo metropolitan area typically take either the Joban Expressway via Metropolitan Expressway Route 6, or the Higashi-Kanto Expressway via the Bayshore Route. There are also many courses along the Ken-O Expressway, which extends east and west from the Tsukuba Junction on the Joban Expressway, as well as along the Higashi-Mito Road and Kita-Kanto Expressway stretching from the Tomobe Junction. For golfers visiting from outside the metropolitan area, Ibaraki Airport is another great option, offering direct flights from Kobe, Sapporo (New Chitose), Fukuoka, and Naha.
Central Golf Club, host to the Japan Open and Japan PGA Championship, is a premier destination.
Ibaraki Prefecture is home to many golf courses where strategic design is skillfully woven into flat terrain. Among them, Central Golf Club stands out for its prestigious history, having twice hosted both the Japan Open Golf Championship (1974, 1976) and the Japan PGA Championship (1985, 1997). Its 36 holes, divided into the East and West courses, are designed to ignite a golfer’s competitive spirit. Another highly popular choice is Kasumidai Country Club, which also consists of 36 holes across the Kasumi and Tsukuba courses. It is widely favored for its ideal level of difficulty combined with very reasonable playing fees.
