Playing the wind
The wind constantly reframes club selection and line.

APGA COURSE PROFILE
Fukuoka, KyushuA Fukuoka championship course where sea wind and pine ask for clear decisions.
THE COURSE IN CONTEXT
Close to the Genkai Sea, Koga finds its character in wind, mature pines and pale sand. Since opening in 1953, it has staged major championships including the Japan Open, making it an essential chapter in Fukuoka’s competitive golf story.
The point of Koga is not simply its length, but the way sea air changes the question on every hole. Its championship history explains why: the course asks for sound striking and better decisions. From a Fukuoka stay, a day among its pines is also a direct encounter with the region’s competitive golf culture.
