New Karumai Country Club is a nine-hole golf facility located in Karumai, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. The course is situated approximately 16 minutes from the Karumai Interchange on the Hachinohe Expressway and 30 minutes from Hinohe Station on the Tohoku Shinkansen. The club is designed by the renowned architect Mitsuaki Kobayashi, who is known for his strategic use of water hazards, earning him the nickname "Water Kobayashi." The course layout is divided into three distinct nine-hole loops, each named after a specific tree: the Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Course, the Shirokiba (White Birch) Course, and the Nanokaeburi (Red Berry) Course. The design emphasizes the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, with each loop featuring distinct seasonal characteristics. The Sakura Course is characterized by cherry blossom trees that create a "flower storm" in the spring, while the Shirokiba Course showcases white birch trunks against a green canvas in the summer. The Nanokaeburi Course features red berries in the autumn. The course is designed to be visually memorable, with water hazards playing a significant role in the strategy of each hole. The clubhouse is located on a hilltop, offering panoramic views of the entire course. The course is known for its strategic water hazards, which are all designated as lateral red penalty areas. The layout includes drainage ditches that are considered immovable obstructions, and roads with artificial surfaces are treated as part of the course. The course features forward tees for certain holes, allowing for different playing options. The Sakura Course is particularly noted for its challenging first hole, where players must navigate a penalty area. The course also features a restaurant that offers seasonal dishes, allowing players to enjoy the views while dining. New Karumai Country Club has hosted various golf events, including the 2026 North Tohoku Pro-Am Golf Tournament. The course is designed to provide a memorable experience for golfers, with a focus on the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape and the strategic challenges posed by the water hazards. The course is open to the public and offers a range of facilities, including a pro shop, restaurant, and cottages. The course is a popular destination for golfers looking for a unique and challenging experience in the beautiful setting of Iwate Prefecture.
