Otsuki Garden Golf Club ☆ Follow

Otsuki Garden Golf Club is a 36-hole facility located in Tsuru City, Yamanashi Prefecture, situated at an elevation between 650 and 800 meters. Opened in 1995, the course is set on a hillside that offers significantly cooler temperatures than the surrounding lowlands during the summer months. The layout is characterized by a relatively flat terrain that transitions into distinct strategic challenges depending on the direction of play. The front nine presents a test of accuracy, featuring three uphill holes that require players to carry shots over valleys. This sequence demands precise distance control and can significantly impact scoring. The back nine shifts the dynamic to a series of downhill holes, providing players with commanding views of Mount Fuji while requiring careful management of the descent and landing zones. The course offers four sets of tees for each hole, ranging from the forward red tees to the back blue tees, allowing for varied yardages and difficulty levels. Notable holes include the par-5 first hole, which stretches to 520 yards from the blue tees, and the par-3 fifth hole, which plays 170 yards from the back markers. The facility is accessible via the Chuo Expressway, located approximately 11 kilometers from the Tsuru Interchange.
