Dynasty Golf Club Kitahiroshima

Dynasty Golf Club Kitahiroshima carries real design pedigree: its three nine-hole courses — Akashiya, Shirakaba and Lilac — were laid out by five-time British Open champion Peter Thomson in 1973, giving the club a strategic, tactical character distinct from many of the more straightforward parkland courses common in the Kitahiroshima area. The three nines combine into 18-hole pairings that each play to a par of 72, with the Akashiya/Shirakaba combination running 6,833 yards from the back tees and carrying a course rating of 73.1 and slope of 123. Thomson's design philosophy, built around firm, ground-game-friendly approaches and well-placed bunkering, sets this woodland-style layout apart from courses designed purely for length. The club offers GPS-equipped golf carts, club rentals, a driving range and an on-site restaurant, with a public/resort access model that welcomes visiting golfers without requiring a membership introduction. Kitahiroshima's dense golf cluster, which includes Clark, Gold Sapporo, Sapporo Regent and Sapporo Kitahiroshima country clubs, makes this an easy addition to a Sapporo-area golf trip. For CoGolfers members interested in playing a genuine championship-caliber design close to Sapporo, Dynasty's Peter Thomson pedigree makes it a standout choice, and its rotating nines keep repeat visits interesting for local league play or ongoing golf communities in the area.
