Chateraise Country Club Masari Cup

Chateraise Country Club's Masari Cup course, opened in 1993 in Ishikari City north of Sapporo, offers a semi-private 18-hole test that plays to a par of 72 from a full spread of tees running from 5,156 yards for ladies up to 7,151 yards at the championship markers, with a rating of 75.1 and slope of 133 from the tips. That length and rating make it one of the more demanding tracks in the Sapporo golf region, appealing to lower-handicap players looking for a genuine challenge rather than a relaxed resort round. Handicap ratings are assigned across all 18 holes, a detail that speaks to the course's competitive pedigree and its use for club events and tournaments. The facility includes a driving range for warm-up and operates year-round in name, though like most Hokkaido courses it follows the region's seasonal weather patterns. For CoGolfers members looking to test their game against a genuinely tough Hokkaido layout, or to join a competitive open game with the local membership, Masari Cup stands apart from Chateraise's other, more resort-oriented Sapporo-area courses. Its proximity to Sapporo makes it an easy addition to a golf trip centered on the capital, and its reputation for difficulty makes it a good benchmark round for golfers measuring their game against Hokkaido's stronger courses.
