Hirakawa Country Follow

千葉県

Hirakawa Country Club is a 72-par, 18-hole course located in Chiba City’s Midori Ward, roughly an hour’s drive from central Tokyo. The layout is set within a broad forest of cedar and oak trees, with every fairway separated by dense woodland. The terrain is remarkably flat, with a total elevation change of just five meters across the entire property. This flatness, combined with wide fairways, gives the course an orthodox, straightforward appearance that belies its competitive nature. The course is designed to challenge golfers through length and precision rather than severe topography. It features five par 5s and four par 3s, with the remaining nine holes being par 4s. The total yardage varies by tee, ranging from 5,524 yards for the ladies’ tees to 7,206 yards for the black tees on the A (Bentgrass) greens. The course rating on the black tees is 74.1, indicating a high level of difficulty for scratch players. The layout is described as "champion course" quality, with a strong emphasis on accuracy off the tee and strategic approach shots. Several holes stand out for their specific challenges. The 18th hole is a demanding 453-yard par 4 where even a single mistake is not forgiven; the tee shot is a slight downhill shot with woods and a water hazard guarding the right side, while the approach requires navigating bunkers. The 5th hole is a 483-yard par 4 that plays slightly downhill, offering a straight shot that can favor long hitters. The 10th hole is a 565-yard par 5 that begins with a water hazard in front of the tee box and doglegs left, requiring a careful second shot to gain distance while avoiding the surrounding woods. Water hazards play a significant role on the par 3 holes. The 8th hole is a long par 3 with a water hazard guarding the front of the green, featuring a narrow fairway that makes the green appear small and difficult to target. The 17th hole is another notable par 3, featuring a water hazard that extends from the tee area to the left of the green. This hole is noted for its length and scenic beauty, offering a classic long par 3 challenge. The 1st hole is a 430-yard par 4 that doglegs slightly left, with woods on the right side and a cross bunker that defines the ideal landing zone. The course offers multiple sets of tees, including black, back, regular, front, and ladies’ tees, allowing for varied yardages and difficulty levels. The greens are maintained in Bentgrass, with two different setups (A and B) that slightly alter the yardage and course rating. The course is designed to be playable for a range of skill levels but remains highly competitive for serious golfers, with its flat terrain and wide fairways masking the strategic demands of the layout.

Located in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa, Hiratsuka Fujimi Country Club operates two distinct 18-hole, par-72 courses: the Hiratsuka Course and the Oiso Course. The facility is set in a landscape that offers panoramic views of Mount Fuji, the Hakone and Tanzawa mountains, and the Pacific Ocean. The terrain is characterized by rolling hills and undulating fairways that require careful shot selection and accurate putting.

The first hole serves as a signature start, offering a slightly elevated tee shot with a direct view of Mount Fuji. The course includes several water hazards and doglegs, most notably the sixth hole, a par-3 that requires a carry over a valley, and the twelfth hole, a short par-3 where the green appears as an island in the water. The sixteenth hole is a demanding 620-yard par-5 that tests distance and accuracy. The Oiso Course, originally established as the Oiso Fujimi Country Club before merging in 1965, is known for its rolling terrain and long holes. Its first hole is a dramatic 556-yard par-5 with a 68-meter drop from the tee, providing a clear view of the Sagami Bay and Oshima Island. The course features several par-3s that require precise distance control, including the second and twelfth holes, both of which carry water. The eighteenth hole is a long, uphill par-5 that finishes the round with a challenging approach to a green that is not visible from the tee. Both courses utilize Bent grass greens, with the Hiratsuka Course featuring a mix of CY2 and Penncross varieties. The layout is designed to reward strategic play, with narrow fairways and slopes that can complicate lies. The club has a history dating back to its founding in 1961, with the Hiratsuka Course opening the following year. The Oiso Course was added to the club's portfolio after the merger in 1965, creating a facility that combines the strategic challenges of the Hiratsuka layout with the expansive, rolling nature of the Oiso layout.

With a total yardage of 7,252 yards from the back tees, the course offers a balanced test for golfers, featuring a mix of par-3s, par-4s, and par-5s that require strategic shot-making rather than just brute force.

Hirsel Golf Club Follow

Scottish Borders

Located right on the Border between England and Scotland, Hirsel Golf Club is a splendid example of a traditional parkland course of outstanding natural beauty with the Cheviot Hills in panoramic view. The course measures 6,024 yards with par 70 for men (72 for ladies). The course features 18 very different holes strategically designed to make the most of the undulations of the terrain and the natural hazards presented by a large number of majestic, mature trees and the winding River Leet. Offering a challenge to the accomplished golfer, it is also forgiving to those with higher handicaps. Founded in 1948, it is a course of strategic design with a fair margin for error; the fairways are generous, as are the greens, but getting from one to the other calls for more precision than power. There are a few blind tee shots and blind approaches to contend with around the course, adding interest to the round. The 3rd hole, a 243-yarder called "Bell", takes a fair old blow from the tee to get close as the hole plays uphill and the green is entirely blind. The next two short holes - "Kingfisher" and "Spa Well" - are the 7th and 10th which are both protected by water to the front of the green.
