The Hira Mountains form the western boundary of Lake Biwa — a range of peaks that separates Shiga from Kyoto and catches enough weather to stay green and cool well into the summer. Hira Golf Club sits in this elevated landscape, offering a round of golf that combines genuine challenge with some of the best scenery available at any course in the Kansai region.
The Course
The course is set at altitude in the Hira mountains, with the elevation bringing cooler temperatures and mountain air that makes the round physically pleasant even in the height of summer. The layout uses the mountain terrain — elevation changes, forest corridors, and views that open up on higher holes to reveal Lake Biwa below.
The challenge level reflects the setting: mountain terrain makes accuracy more important than distance, and the course rewards players who manage the altitude changes well. The greens are well-maintained and the pace of play tends to be relaxed in this quieter part of Shiga.
