Midori Golf Course ☆ Follow

Midori Golf Course is a nine-hole, par-27 short course located in Kanagawa, positioned between the Dentetsu Line and Odakyu Line. The facility is designed to utilize the natural mountain terrain and landscape, offering views that change with the seasons. The course layout spans 780 yards and features two types of greens, utilizing both bentgrass and Korean grass, alongside a free bentgrass practice green and a 70-yard driving range with 20 bays. The course is characterized by its elevation changes and specific hole designs that challenge players' accuracy. The first hole is an 83-yard par-3 with a slight downslope and a long, narrow green that slopes to the right, with out-of-bounds areas to the right and rear. In contrast, the second hole is a 65-yard par-3 that plays uphill, requiring players to avoid looking up too early to prevent shots from landing on the embankment to the right. The third hole is a 55-yard par-3 that doglegs slightly left, where the distance perception is difficult due to a large tree at the back of the green. The middle of the course offers a mix of distances and slopes. The fourth hole is a 100-yard par-3 that plays uphill with a fairway bunker to the right and a shallow bunker to the left. The fifth hole is the longest on the course at 115 yards, also a par-3, playing uphill with a target toward the center and right of the green. The sixth hole is an 85-yard uphill par-3 where players must avoid the branches of a cherry tree on the right, with the green situated on the highest terrain of the course, offering views of the Landmark Tower. The final three holes present a variety of challenges, including narrow fairways and sloping greens. The seventh hole is a 70-yard par-3 with a narrow fairway lined by cherry trees, leading to a wide green. The eighth hole is a 80-yard par-3 that doglegs slightly left, featuring a deep bunker in the left rear corner. The ninth hole is a 70-yard par-3 that plays downhill, with a tendency for players to hook the ball to the left if they look up too early. The course is designed to be played twice, with the second round often providing a new challenge as players become familiar with the terrain.
