Located in Misato, Saitama Prefecture, Misato Royal Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course spanning 6,969 yards from the full back tees. The layout was designed and constructed by the civil engineering department of Kabushiki Kaisha Ichikawa Zouen Dothoku.

The front nine features a mix of elevation changes and strategic hazards. The third hole is a right-dogleg par-4 where players must navigate around an out-of-bounds area on the right to reach the green. The eighth hole presents a valley-crossing par-3 that demands precise club selection due to the distance and complex green contours. The seventh hole is a par-4 played from an elevated tee, where the two-tiered green and wind conditions require accurate shot-making. The back nine begins with the tenth hole, a par-4 played from a tee box situated on an island-like platform over water. The twelfth hole is a demanding par-4 with a large pine tree guarding the left rough and a water hazard protecting the back of the green. The seventeenth hole is a scenic par-3 played from an elevated tee to a green surrounded by water. The closing eighteenth hole is a long par-5 that requires three precise shots to reach the green, which features significant slope from front-left to back-right, often setting up dramatic finishing scenarios.
