Kameoka Golf Club: Hill Golf in the Valley West of Kyoto

Kameoka already has a strong claim on the Kyoto golfer’s attention — the city hosts both courses of Kyoto Golf Club, and the combination of proximity to central Kyoto and genuinely good golf makes it a go-to destination. Kameoka Golf Club adds another option to that mix: a hillside course that makes the most of the valley terrain and offers a distinct experience from its better-known neighbours.

The Course

The course is set on rolling hillside terrain, with the natural topography built into the layout rather than smoothed out. Elevation changes create approach shots that require genuine club selection, and the tree-lined corridors keep the demand for accuracy consistent throughout. The greens are well-maintained and reward careful reading.

Kameoka is accessible from central Kyoto via the JR San’in Line, making it a practical choice for a round without a car. The surrounding landscape — the same wooded valley that frames Kyoto Golf Club’s Funayama Course — gives the round an atmosphere that feels authentically Kyoto.
