Tsutsujigaoka Country Club
Tsutsujigaoka Country Club is located in Ashikaga area in Tochigi prefecture, about 1 hour north of Tokyo by car or train. Ashikaga is the birthplace of the once mighty Ashikaga clan that ruled Japan for over two centuries during the Morumachi period of Japanese history. Set in some of the most scenic mountains in Japan, certainly an area for nature lovers containing the famous Ashikaga Flower Park.
The course is an award-winning 18-hole hole course designed by the late Katsumi Takizawa, each hole has been laid out in harmony with the local topography, accentuated by the breathtaking hills and valleys of the national park bordering the property beyond -the changing season's vivid greens in spring and summer and golden browns and reds in fall and winter offering a stunning backdrop.
A 6,670-yard par-72, each hole feels unique, often winding around wooded hills or set in sweeping valleys, and offering a varied test requiring skill and precision over length, the aim of the design is to challenge a golfer to use their full imagination and shot-making ability. Modern touches such as large single greens partnered with water features and strategic bunkering offer an enjoyable and memorable golfing experience.

The course features remote control carts - but it is possible to walk the course, amazingly made possible by a number of gondolas and travelators helping to get to the elevated tees, and from one hole to the next- which ads to the uniqueness and enjoyability.
Carts are required, but caddy is optional.
