Fukui Kokusai Country Club is a 27-hole facility located in Aharai, Awara City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. The course opened in October 1974 and is operated by H&J Co., Ltd. The property features three distinct nine-hole loops: the Tojinbou Course, the Echizenmisaki Course, and the Kuzuryu Course. The total yardage across all three loops is 10,229 yards from the black tees, with a combined par of 108. The Tojinbou Course, measuring 3,356 yards from the black tees, is characterized by its routing through natural woods and valleys. This layout demands precise shot-making and a variety of technical skills to navigate the tree-lined fairways and undulating terrain. The course features a mix of par-3s, par-4s, and par-5s, with the black tees offering a total par of 36. The Echizenmisaki Course plays across gentle hills and expansive fairways, designed to accommodate powerful tee shots. Spanning 3,438 yards from the black tees, this loop includes several long par-5s, such as the 571-yard 1st hole and the 551-yard 9th hole. The routing takes advantage of the rolling topography, providing a strategic test for players seeking to maximize distance off the tee. The Kuzuryu Course, at 3,414 yards from the black tees, is defined by the presence of water hazards scattered throughout the layout. The description of this loop highlights its short holes as particularly demanding, testing a player's mental fortitude. The course includes notable par-5s like the 560-yard 8th hole and the 550-yard 4th hole, requiring careful approach shots to avoid the strategically placed ponds. Each of the three loops offers multiple tee box options, with yardages varying significantly between the black, white, and red tees. The club also maintains a driving range with 15 bays, two greens, and separate approach and bunker practice areas. The facility is situated in the northern part of Japan's main island, offering a distinct regional golfing experience in the Fukui region.
