Kasumigaseki Country Club: West

The West Course at Kasumigaseki Country Club opened in 1932 as a complement to the East Course, which debuted three years prior. The course was originally designed by Seiichi Inoune before being renovated by Taizou Kawata in 2000 and then again in 2016 by Tom and Logan Fazio. The course features immaculate greens, subtly sloping fairways and strategically placed water hazards requiring accuracy in order to score. The front nine is known for the challenging 440-yard par-4 ninth with hazards and deep bunkering on both sides of the fairway. The back nine is more challenging than the front and features the reachable par-5 13th with water running the right side of the hole and dissecting the layup zone, as well as the island-style green on the par-3 16th. Located just under an hour from Tokyo, Kasumigaseki Country Club offers pristine conditions and phenomenal golf.
