Shizuoka Country Club Hamaoka Course & Hotel ☆ Follow

The Shizuoka Country Club Hamaoka Course & Hotel is located in Misaki, Shizuoka Prefecture, featuring a 36-hole layout designed by renowned architect Rees Jones. The facility comprises two distinct nine-hole courses, the Takamatsu Course and the Ogasa Course, which were both fully renovated under Jones's direction, with the Ogasa Course completing its renovation in 2019 and the Takamatsu Course following in 2020. This strategic design creates a course characterized by change and strategic depth, offering a playing experience that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The golf courses are set against the backdrop of the Suruga Bay, providing rich scenic views that complement the strategic demands of the layout. The club is known for its palace-style clubhouse, which houses an art museum and offers dining options that feature seafood from the Suruga Bay. The facility caters to a wide range of golfers, including provisions for senior and ladies' days, as well as specific tee settings such as the pink tees introduced on the Ogasa Course in 2023. The Ogasa Course has been recognized for its quality, having been selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Courses for two consecutive terms. The club also supports various golfing activities beyond standard play, including footgolf and professional lesson plans. The integration of the hotel and golf facilities allows visitors to experience the full scope of the course's amenities, from the strategic challenges of the Jones-designed fairways to the accommodations and dining within the clubhouse complex.
