藤沢カントリー倶楽部, Former golf course in Fujisawa, Japan
Fujisawa Country Club was a golf course in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, laid out on about 191,709 tsubo of land at what was then Gotenyama in Fujisawa town, now Zenyō in Fujisawa city. The course was built from 1931 and opened in 1932; its clubhouse, designed by Antonin Raymond, had green roof tiles and was called the "Green House".
Fujisawa Country Club was founded in 1930, when the Fujisawa Golf company was set up with 500,000 yen in capital and shareholders became the members. The course was designed with advice from Charles Hugh Allison, who had laid out St Andrews, and opened on 29 May 1932. It hosted the Japan Open in 1938 and closed on 24 October 1943.
The clubhouse was designed by Antonin Raymond; its green roof tiles earned it the nickname "Green House". It still stands, now used as a training camp facility for the Kanagawa Prefectural Sports Center. A women-only Merry Golf Club course was attached for a time.
The course no longer exists: it closed on 24 October 1943, so there is nothing to play at the site today. Its former grounds in Fujisawa, now the Yoshigyo area, were later used by the Fujisawa Naval Air Corps and then by schools and the Kanagawa Prefectural Sports Center. The 1931 clubhouse, called the Green House for its green roof tiles, survives as a dormitory of the prefectural sports center.
