As a shorter, lower-par companion course opened just over a decade after Kamigamo, Funayama offers a different, more compact test within the same club.

Kizugawa Country Club is a 27-hole golf facility built across hilly terrain in Nara City, Nara Prefecture, close to the Kyoto Prefecture border. The club opened in 1973 and was designed by architect Fukuichi Kato. Rather than a single 18-hole routing, the property is laid out as three separate 9-hole courses, so golfers can combine any two of the three loops for an 18-hole round.

Detailed yardage, par, and pricing figures for each of the three nines are not published, but the three-course design gives visiting golfers flexibility in how they build their round.

With three nines to combine, Rurikei offers golfers a choice of routing across an 18-hole round, a useful option for repeat visits or larger groups splitting into different combinations.

Mizuho Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course in Kyotamba-cho, a rural district in Kyoto Prefecture's Funai-gun. The course plays 6,848 yards from the back tees over hilly terrain, characteristic of the wooded hill country in this part of Kyoto Prefecture. Kyotamba-cho sits away from the dense course clusters near central Kyoto, giving the club a quieter setting for golfers building a round into a wider Kyoto itinerary. The par-72 routing covers the full 18 holes as a single course, with the yardage and par applying to one standard round rather than a combination of nines. Hilly layouts in this part of Kyoto typically demand more from shot placement and course management than from raw length alone, and Mizuho's terrain follows that pattern. The club is located at Ohomiyageri, Kyotamba-cho, Funai-gun, Kyoto Prefecture, with a hilly routing suited to golfers looking for a regulation-length test away from the city center. Green fees, caddy service, and transport details are best confirmed directly with the club when booking.
