Hokkaido Classic Golf Club

Hokkaido Classic Golf Club is an 18-hole course laid out across natural terrain with a par of 72 in standard playing difficulty. The property includes practice areas with a 300-yard driving range and a clubhouse featuring traditional Japanese architectural design.

The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 1991, introducing a professional-standard golf facility to the Hokkaido region. This brought internationally recognized design principles and playing standards to the area.

The clubhouse features traditional Japanese cypress wood throughout its interior, reflecting local building practices and creating a distinct sense of place that connects the facility to the region.

Players receive support from a caddie assigned to each group while playing the course. The playing conditions remain consistent throughout the year, making it straightforward to plan a visit at any time.

The course maintains minimal elevation change across its entire layout. This unusually gentle terrain creates consistent playing conditions without steep slopes that might otherwise challenge navigation or strategy.
