Venue

Edosaki Country Club

茨城県, Japan

Edosaki Country Club is a 36-hole facility located in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, situated just 3 kilometers from the Inashiki Interchange on the Kan-etsu Expressway. The club, which has a 60-year history, is divided into two distinct 18-hole courses: the East Course and the South Course. The East Course is characterized by its strategic design enveloped in a red pine forest, while the South Course offers a more open layout that caters to a wide range of skill levels. The East Course features two different green surfaces, the East A and East B greens, which alter the yardage and difficulty of the 72-hole layout. The East A configuration, utilizing the new greens, plays to a par of 72 with a total yardage of 6,346 meters from the white tees. The East B configuration, featuring bentgrass greens, offers a slightly shorter total yardage of 6,206 meters from the same tees. Both versions of the East Course include five par 5s and five par 3s, with the longest hole being the 10th at 494 meters on the A course and the 10th at 499 meters on the B course. The South Course also provides two distinct playing experiences based on the green surface used. The South A layout, played from the white tees, measures 6,284 meters with a par of 72. The South B layout is slightly shorter at 6,124 meters from the white tees, also set at par 72. The South Course features a mix of par 3s, 4s, and 5s, with the longest hole being the 13th at 490 meters on both configurations. The course is designed to be accessible to beginners while still offering strategic challenges for advanced players. The club maintains a strong tradition of competitive golf, hosting various annual events such as the East Open, South Open, and the Elder Cup. The facility is equipped with a clubhouse, restaurant, and practice areas, and offers cart access on the East Course. The layout and design of Edosaki Country Club reflect its long-standing commitment to providing a high-quality golfing experience in a natural setting.
