Hidaka Country Club is a 54-hole facility located in Hidaka, Saitama Prefecture, set within the natural landscape of the Musashino region. The course is divided into three distinct nine-hole loops: the East, West, and South courses. The layout is characterized by a mix of forested terrain and strategic challenges, with the East course featuring pine trees lining the fairways and gentle slopes, while the West course presents a flatter appearance complicated by intricate undulations. The South course offers a shorter but varied routing with water hazards and streams adding to the strategic demands. The course ratings reflect the difficulty of the back tees, with the East and West courses both measuring 73.6 and 72.0 yards respectively from the black tees, while the South course measures 71.4 yards. The par for the full 54 holes is 216, with each nine-hole loop carrying a par of 72. The West course is noted for its length and the requirement for directional accuracy, whereas the East course is described as a typical forest course where the landing zone of the tee shot dictates the difficulty of subsequent shots. Hidaka Country Club gained national prominence as the host venue for the 2019 Japan Senior Open Golf Championship. The course is recognized for its high difficulty and strategic depth, requiring precise shot-making to avoid scoring breakdowns. The facility has been in operation for over 60 years, establishing itself as a prominent course in the domestic golf circuit.
