Kasumigaoka Country Club

茨城県, Japan

Located in Inashiki City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Kasumigaoka Country Club sits on the gentle rolling hills of the Kasumigaura lakefront, offering views of Mount Tsukuba. The 27-hole facility opened on December 26, 1974, and is divided into three distinct nine-hole courses: East, South, and West. The total yardage reaches 8,345 yards from the back tees, with a par of 108. The course features Bentsen greens covering approximately 750,000 square meters across the layout. The East course demands precision, featuring dogleg holes and narrow fairways that require accurate shot placement. Several holes present significant challenges, including the par-4 first hole, where the fairway is surrounded by out-of-bounds on the left, right, and behind the green. The par-3 sixth hole is flanked by trees on both sides, with a green that slopes toward a valley and out-of-bounds area. The East course's par-5 fourth hole presents a unique challenge with two consecutive 90-degree doglegs to the left, requiring precise distance control on the second and third shots. The South course is shorter but emphasizes directionality. The South course's par-5 eighth, stretching 463 yards from the back, is flagged for driver use. The West course offers wider fairways with a more forgiving layout. The West course includes a demanding par-5 seventh hole at 482 yards from the back tees, marked as a driver-recommended hole. The course accommodates multiple tee boxes including black, blue, white, and red, with the white tees measuring 6,508 yards for a par of 108. Play is conducted using five-person GPS-enabled navigation carts with electronic induction technology. A practice range with 15 natural grass hitting bays extending 270 yards was established in 2023, and the clubhouse underwent renovation in May 2024.
