National Delicious Food Cup

Yasato International Golf Club

茨城県, Japan

Located in Ioka, Ibaraki Prefecture, the course is a 7,011-yard, par-72 layout designed by Hirochika Tomizawa and opened in October 1987. The property is characterized by flat fairways that wind through coniferous forests, offering views of the Mount Tsukuba range. The design incorporates numerous water hazards, with ponds lining several holes, and features a waterfall originating from the pond on the 11th hole that flows near the 14th tee. The front nine presents a mix of challenges, including a demanding par-4 seventh hole that requires a carry over a pond, and a long par-5 ninth that plays to a narrow fairway guarded by water. The back nine features the course's signature par-4 14th hole, which served as the venue for the finals of the All Japan Wilson Driving Contest. This long par-4 demands precision off the tee, while the closing 18th hole provides a scenic par-5 finish with expansive views. The course is rated at 72.7 from the regular tees and features a single green complex. It offers multiple tee boxes to accommodate various skill levels, ranging from the black tees at 7,011 yards to the pink tees at 1,933 yards. The facility includes a 270-yard driving range with ten bays and utilizes remote-controlled carts equipped with GPS navigation.
