Located in Hitachi-Ota, Ibaraki Prefecture, Kanasago Country Club is a 18-hole, par-72 championship course designed by Hirohito Tomisawa. Opened on October 1, 1986, the course is situated on a hilly terrain spanning approximately 100,000 square meters. The layout is organized around the clubhouse, with the outward holes extending to the right and the inward holes to the left, creating a varied routing that balances flat stretches with subtle elevation changes. The course features Bent grass greens and offers multiple tee boxes to accommodate different skill levels, with yardages ranging from 2,110 yards on the pink tees to 6,712 yards on the blue tees. The back nine presents a total yardage of 3,392 yards from the blue tees, including a demanding 529-yard 18th hole. The course rate is listed at 72.9 from the back tees, with a regular rating of 70.7. Play is conducted as a self-paced round with the option of using five-seater electric induction carts. Kanasago Country Club is characterized by a layout that rewards both strategic play and aggressive scoring. The design incorporates specific local rules, such as prohibiting play from a repair area on the 4th hole and restricting the use of clubs other than putters on the greens. The facility includes a driving range with 14 bays extending to 250 yards, as well as dedicated practice areas for approach shots and bunkers. The club also provides a restaurant, competition rooms, and a pro shop for members and visitors.
