Okinawa Country Club

Overview: Near Naha, Okinawa Country Club presents a hilly 18-hole round at par 70, with current course material listing 5,764 yards and crediting Masaru Okubo with the design. The routing combines uphill and downhill holes with ponds, tropical vegetation and frequent changes in lie. It is a practical public course for golfers staying in southern Okinawa, but the compact scorecard does not remove the need for accuracy: wind and elevation can make approaches play longer or shorter than the card suggests.

History: The course opened in 1965 and has remained part of Okinawa's long-established golf infrastructure. The current Accordia page confirms its location and 18-hole operation, while travel material and course references preserve the designer and opening date. Published yardages differ by tee and source, so the profile uses the current course-reference figure and avoids implying that one number applies to every playing setup.

Did You Know? Accordia's current description places the course roughly 20 minutes from Naha and notes that its uphill, downhill and water features all contribute to the test. The combination is typical of Okinawan golf: the course is close to the city, but the tropical wind and sloping ground can make a seemingly straightforward par four require a surprisingly exact approach.
