Client Course Description

Taiheiyo Club, Japan’s largest golf club, owns 17 golf courses across the country, and the Asama Course at the Taiheiyo Club Karuizawa Resort is one of the many outstanding courses of the club. Built in 1994, the course is a par 70.  Asama Golf Course is a beautiful course built on the hillside of Usui Toge, and players can enjoy the great views of Asama Mountain from the course. Magnificent pine trees rest along this fun course.

Designer Notes

A Golf Course Master Plan was developed in 2023 to help guide the club in making improvements to the golf course while also updating the golf course features to today’s standards.
