Golf5 Country Bibai Course

Golf5 Country Bibai, formerly known as Alpen Golf Club Bibai, brings genuine design pedigree to central Hokkaido's Bibai region courtesy of Pete Dye and Perry Dye, who laid out the property's three nine-hole loops — East, Middle and West — in 1995. Each nine plays to a par of 36 across bent grass greens set in a parkland landscape, with the East nine measuring 3,333 yards, Middle 3,298 yards and West 3,198 yards from the back tees, giving the combined 18-hole pairings a full par of 72 and roughly 6,500 yards of golf. Pete Dye's reputation for strategic bunkering and risk-reward design is evident across all three nines, a step up in architectural interest from many of the straightforward parkland courses common in rural Hokkaido. The semi-private club offers golf carts, caddies and club rentals, and walking is permitted for golfers who want to take in the Dye design on foot. Bibai sits in Hokkaido's agricultural heartland, making the club a worthwhile detour for golfers exploring central Hokkaido beyond the Sapporo and Asahikawa corridors. For CoGolfers members who appreciate architectural pedigree, Golf5 Country Bibai's Pete Dye design offers something genuinely distinctive, and its three rotating nines keep repeat rounds interesting for local golf groups.
