Kasugai Country Club is a 36-hole facility located in Kasugai, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, featuring two distinct 18-hole courses: the East Course and the West Course. The West Course was designed by renowned architect Seiichi Inoue, while the East Course was renovated by top architect David Dale. The club is situated in a hilly landscape that offers varied terrain and seasonal scenery, with the layout designed to integrate the natural beauty of the ridges and valleys. The East Course is characterized by a sustainable layout that balances risk and reward, featuring wide fairways and strategic bunkering that adds depth to the game. It offers multiple tee boxes ranging from the Black tees at 7,050 yards to the Lavender tees at 4,804 yards. The course rating from the Black tees is 75.4 for men, with a slope rating of 141. The par is 72, with hole yardages varying significantly, including a long par-3 fourth hole at 215 yards from the Black tees and a par-5 thirteenth hole at 520 yards. The West Course presents a more undulating terrain with a fighting spirit, featuring greens that require precise putting skills due to their undulation. The front nine includes a challenging second hole, a par-3 at 174 yards from the L Green tees, which demands careful wind calculation. The back nine features a demanding 494-yard par-5 third hole and a 501-yard par-5 fifth hole. The course rating from the L Green tees is 73.8 for men, with a slope of 136. The West Course yardages range from 6,886 yards from the back tees to 5,712 yards from the ladies' tees. Both courses are designed to minimize out-of-bounds areas, with the West Course noting that the first hole has no OB, although strategic bunkering and specific hazard placements require careful shot selection. The East Course is described as having wide fairways with minimal OB, relying on strategically placed bunkers to challenge players. The facility hosts various tournaments, including the Grand Senior Championship and Club Championship, indicating its suitability for competitive play.
