North Valley Country Club

北海道, Japan

North Valley Country Club is Japan's northernmost golf course, located approximately 10 minutes by car from Wakkanai Airport in Hokkaido. The 18-hole course is situated on terrain ideally suited for golf development, strategically utilizing natural topography. The outward nine holes feature expansive, generous fairways with a rustic character. The inward nine holes are separated by natural forest including Yezo spruce, Sakhalin spruce, white birch, and rowan trees, offering mental strategic challenges. The course design emphasizes preserving natural landscape features while delivering varied playing strategy across both nines. The layout combines the wild appeal of the outer course with the forested character of the inner nine, creating a strategically rich 18-hole experience that leverages Japan's northernmost setting. The course accommodates both relaxed and challenging play through thoughtful design that works with rather than against the natural environment and existing vegetation.
