Daikobe Golf Club (Suma Main)

Overview: Suma is the shorter, more intricate 18-hole routing at Daikobe Golf Club in Kobe. Current tourism material lists it at par 71 and 6,095 yards, compared with the longer Maya Course at the same 36-hole facility. The official guide describes Suma as a carefully trapped course that asks players to think their way around the middle holes. Its hillside setting and views toward the Seto Inland Sea add space to the experience, while the layout itself rewards a controlled line more than a purely aggressive swing.

History: Suma forms one half of Daikobe's current 36-hole operation, alongside Maya. The available official material focuses on how the two courses differ today and does not provide a sufficiently reliable individual architect or opening year. This profile consequently records the supported routing facts and keeps the two Daikobe courses separate, avoiding the common error of using Maya's longer yardage for Suma.

Did You Know? The official tourism profile calls Suma shorter but more elaborately laid out, with traps that influence the middle holes and demand an intelligent plan. That contrast is the reason the two courses complement each other: Maya gives a player room to swing, while Suma places more pressure on the choice of line, landing zone and recovery shot.
