Ohotsuku Country Club

Ohotsuku Country Club has operated as a public course in Abashiri since 1966, giving this city on Hokkaido's Okhotsk coast, famous for its winter drift ice and former prison museum, a second golf option alongside neighboring Abashiri Country Club. The 18-hole course plays to a par of 71, with a course rating of 71.6 and slope of 123 from the back tees at 6,598 yards, and a shorter regular-tee option at 6,115 yards keeps the round approachable for a range of skill levels. As a public course, it's open to any golfer without a membership requirement, and its seasonal operation offers golf carts, caddies, club rentals, a driving range and putting green. Walking is permitted, and banquet facilities plus locker rooms round out the clubhouse. Abashiri's coastal setting and drift ice viewing tours draw visitors mainly in winter, but the golf season here runs through the warmer months, giving travelers a different reason to visit this remote northeastern city. For CoGolfers members exploring the Okhotsk coast, Ohotsuku Country Club's public access makes it an easy, low-commitment round to fit into a broader itinerary that might also include Abashiri's prison museum and the nearby Shiretoko Peninsula.
