Eniwa Country Club

Eniwa Country Club, established in 1991 in the city of Eniwa between Sapporo and Chitose, rotates three nine-hole courses named Akan, Mashu and Shikotsu — after some of Hokkaido's most famous lakes — into three interchangeable 18-hole combinations, each playing to a par of 72. The Akan/Mashu pairing stretches to 7,218 yards from the back tees with a course rating of 74.0 and slope of 135, making it one of the more demanding tests in the greater Sapporo golf region. The semi-private club offers caddies for hire and banquet facilities, and its cart rental and eight different playing-length options across the tee boxes give golfers real flexibility in how they set up their round. The golf season here runs from mid-April through mid-November, a solidly long window by Hokkaido standards. Eniwa's central location, roughly equidistant from Sapporo and New Chitose Airport, makes the club convenient for both city-based golfers and travelers passing through on their way in or out of Hokkaido. For CoGolfers members organizing a golf trip that spans the Sapporo-Chitose corridor, Eniwa Country Club's lake-themed nines and genuine challenge make it a worthwhile stop, and its rotating format means members and visitors alike can return for a different 18-hole experience each time.
