Kohamajima Country Club

Overview: Kohamajima presents a full 18-hole resort round at par 72 on Kohama Island in Okinawa's Yaeyama chain. The current resort page lists 6,361 yards and places the course among blue coral reefs and subtropical island scenery. The golf experience is inseparable from the island setting, but the routing still has a proper 36-36 structure and enough length to reward a serious round. Visitors reach Kohama by ferry from Ishigaki, so this is a destination course in the most literal sense.

History: Course data dates the opening to November 22, 2001. The current resort operator presents the course as part of Risonare Kohamajima and keeps it open for resort guests and visiting golfers, subject to the island's transport and operating schedule. No architect is assigned here because the reviewed current sources do not verify one. The reliable historical fact is the 2001 opening of the present 18-hole resort course.

Did You Know? Hoshino describes Kohamajima as the southernmost and westernmost 18-hole golf course in Japan. That geographical claim is part of the course's appeal, but it also has practical consequences: a round requires planning around the Ishigaki ferry and island transfers. The sea and coral setting are not simply scenery beside the course, they shape the entire travel experience around it.
