Lake Forest Resort in the southern Kyoto hills operates two distinct courses on the same property — the Century Course and the Bird Spring Course — giving golfers who make the trip the option of playing 36 holes across two very different layouts. The Century Course is the more spacious of the two, with a design that prioritizes variety and challenge over difficulty for its own sake.
The Course
The Century Course is set in the forested hills of Minamiyamashiro, with a layout that uses the natural terrain to create a round with genuine character. The mix of open and enclosed holes gives the course variety, and the conditioning throughout — fairways, greens, presentation — is maintained to resort standards.
The resort setting means the facilities extend beyond the golf: a well-appointed clubhouse and the option to combine a round with an overnight stay make Lake Forest Resort a natural choice for a full golf trip rather than just a day out.
