Tachikawa International Country Club Follow

Tachikawa International Country Club is a 36-hole golf facility located in Kusaba, Akiruno City, Tokyo. It is approximately 60 minutes from the city centre and comprises two courses: the Kusaba Course and the Okutama Course. The club opened in August 1959, with the Kusaba Course designed by Kashima Construction and the Okutama Course designed by Nobukatsu Marumo.

The Kusaba Course is a par 72 with a course rating of 71.0 (6,515 yards) and is characterised by a strategically demanding layout. The fairways are immaculately maintained, leading to bentgrass greens, while the distinctive hole configuration captivates golfers. The Okutama Course is also a par 72, with a course rating of 71.8 (6,509 yards), and its design makes full use of the natural hilly terrain.

Both courses are known for attracting wild birds, allowing players to enjoy the changing seasons throughout their round. On the Kusaba Course, the 4th hole (176 yards, par 3) on the outward nine and the 11th hole (170 yards, par 3) on the inward nine are recommended for pin-seeking play. The 7th hole (373 yards, par 4) and the 12th hole (390 yards, par 4) are recommended for driving distance.

On the Okutama Course, the 2nd hole (187 yards, par 3) on the outward nine and the 15th hole (187 yards, par 3) on the inward nine are designated as recommended pin-seeking holes. The 6th hole (514 yards, par 5) and the 12th hole (431 yards, par 5) are recommended for driving distance. The standard practice across the course is the use of electromagnetic induction carts, while Mondays and Fridays offer self-service day rates with lunch included.
