Kawaguchiko Country Club

Located at the northern base of Mt. Fuji, Kawaguchiko Country Club is home to 27 holes of premier golf. The courses, designed by Robert Von Hagge, opened in 1977 and feature subtle sloping fairways and undulating greens utilizing natural contours. The three nines at Kawaguchiko are named East, West and South with the South and the East being the most famous for their imaginative layout and mountain views. The standout holes include the par-4 sixth on the East course playing directly toward Mt. Fuji and displaying a unique Y-shaped split between the A and B greens. Similar on the West is the green complex on the par-5 seventh, also built into a Y-shaped split and playing as the longest hole on the property framed by Mt. Fuji as the backdrop. Rounding out the featured holes is the par-5 second on the South course playing 518 yards, the hole doglegs toward the mountain, and players are encouraged to aim at the lone pine in the middle of the fairway. Located in a national park the aura of tranquility is infectious at Kawaguchiko Country Club as even the practice range is framed by a breathtaking view of the mountain.
