THE COURSE IN CONTEXT
Set beneath the unmistakable profile of Kaimon-dake, Ibusuki’s Kaimon Course combines the openness of southern Kyushu with a serious championship record. Long associated with the Casio World Open and host of the 2019 Japan PGA Championship, it pairs naturally with Ibusuki’s hot-spring culture.
With Kaimon-dake on the horizon, the scale of the place is immediately clear. The course carries real tournament weight while connecting naturally to Ibusuki’s hot springs, sand baths and coastal food. It gives a southern Kyushu golf journey both a competitive centre and a memorable place to stay.
