Yorii Country Club ☆ Follow

Yorii Country Club is a 18-hole, par-72 golf course located in Yorii, Oori District, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Situated where the Arakawa River transitions from the Chichibu Mountains to the Kanto Plain, the course is set within a hilly landscape characterized by dense greenery and natural terrain features that have been preserved. The facility is accessible via the Kan-Etsu Expressway, located approximately 5 kilometers from the Hanazono Interchange. The layout is defined as a hill course that offers a relatively flat and spacious fairway, allowing for a smooth playing rhythm. The design incorporates the natural topography and existing trees, creating a strategic environment where the best routes are lined with potential hazards. This setup encourages players to utilize their driver, particularly on the opening holes, which are both over 400 yards long. Both the outward and inward nines begin with these long par-4s, providing an immediate test of distance and accuracy off the tee. The course is designed to balance the enjoyment of powerful drives with the necessity of strategic shot placement, as the surrounding areas of the optimal landing zones contain risks that demand careful navigation.
