Yabe Sun Valley Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 highland course in Yamato, Kamimashiki District, Kumamoto Prefecture, designed by architect Yasuo Itami and opened in 1975. The course measures 6,370 yards from the back tees. It sits in the mountainous Yamato area, about 60 minutes by taxi from Kumamoto Station on the JR Kagoshima Main Line, or roughly 3 minutes by car from the Yamato-Nakashima-nishi Interchange on the Kyushu Chuo Expressway, which makes the expressway the more practical route for visitors. Green fees start at 7,900 yen on weekdays and 11,500 yen on weekends. Golfers use riding carts, and no caddy service is offered. As a highland-terrain course opened in the mid-1970s, it is set at elevation in the hills of central Kumamoto rather than along the coast, giving it a mountain setting distinct from the prefecture's lowland courses. No on-site bath or onsen is listed in the available information for this club.
