Tokyo Classic Golf Club

The Jack Nicklaus-designed course at the Tokyo Classic Club opened in 2014 with the goal of being the only true country club in Japan offering full amenities including the only horseback-trekking course in the country. The club is located an hour outside of Tokyo and is built on a former cedar tree farm with an emphasis on co-existing with the natural environment that surrounds it. The course features dense tree-lined zoysia fairways as well as bentgrass greens with subtle breaks. Tokyo Classic Club is known for the short par-4 second with a drivable forward tee and intimidating bunkering, as well as the difficult par-4 11th with a green protected by a grove of overhanging cedars. The course plays as a true Nicklaus design as strategic ball positing is necessary for scoring.
