Sapporo Scots Hill Golf Club

Sapporo Scots Hill Golf Club, established in 1974 in Ishikari on the coastal plain northwest of Sapporo, offers a semi-private 18-hole course that plays to a par of 72, with a demanding course rating of 74.9 and slope of 131 from the back tees at 7,019 yards. A range of tees down to 5,413 yards for women broadens the course's accessibility despite its substantial championship length. The name evokes Scottish golf heritage, a nod some Japanese clubs make to the sport's origins, and metal spikes remain permitted here, a detail from an earlier era of golf course standards. Amenities include golf carts, caddies, club rentals, a driving range and putting green, along with an on-site restaurant featuring a lounge and banquet facilities. The club accepts credit cards including JCB, UFJ, UC and Visa. Ishikari's coastal plain hosts several golf clubs including Royal Ship Sapporo and Barato Country Club, giving CoGolfers members a cluster of options to build a multi-round day northwest of the capital. For golfers looking for a genuinely challenging test in the Sapporo area, Scots Hill's high yardage and rating make it a solid benchmark round among the Ishikari-area clubs.
