Beppu produces more hot spring water than anywhere else in Japan — the famous “jigoku” (hell) springs bubble, steam, and pool in colors ranging from cobalt blue to blood red. The surrounding hills that trap all this geothermal energy also provide terrain for one of Oita’s most distinctive golf courses. Beppu no Mori Golf Club is set in the forested hillside above the city, a course where the onsen experience is as much part of the visit as the golf itself.
The Course
The forest setting provides natural separation between holes and a cool, shaded atmosphere that makes summer rounds considerably more comfortable than courses on exposed terrain. The greens are well-maintained and the layout has enough elevation change to keep the round interesting throughout. GORA reviewers note the combination of course quality and proximity to Beppu’s famous spa culture as the key draw.
