Nara’s identity is inseparable from its deer. The sika that wander through Nara Park — bowing for crackers, occasionally testing the patience of tourists — are as much a symbol of the city as the Great Buddha or the ancient temples. Nara no Mori Golf Club sits in the forested hills outside the park, where the deer occasionally make their presence known on the fairways as well.
The Course
The course is set in the wooded hills that characterize the landscape around Nara — cedar and cypress forest framing the fairways, with the elevation changes that make golf in this part of the Yamato Plain genuinely interesting. The layout rewards accurate driving and thoughtful approach play, with greens that are well-maintained and consistent.
The combination of Nara golf and Nara sightseeing is as natural as it sounds. A round in the morning, Todai-ji and the deer park in the afternoon, kaiseki in the evening — it’s an itinerary that uses a day in Nara extremely well.
