Sapporo International Country Club

Sapporo International Country Club, established in 1963 in the Shimamatsu district of Kitahiroshima, rotates three nine-hole courses labeled A, B and C into three 18-hole combinations, each playing to a par of 72 with course ratings around 73.1 to 73.6 depending on the pairing and yardages generally in the 6,780- to 6,950-yard range from the back tees. As one of the older clubs in Kitahiroshima's now-dense golf cluster, Sapporo International predates many of its neighbors, including Sapporo Regent and Dynasty Golf Club, which followed in the subsequent golf-course boom of the following decade. The woodland-style, semi-private club offers golf carts, caddies, club rentals, a driving range and putting green, along with a restaurant and banquet capabilities for group outings. For CoGolfers members organizing a multi-round day in the Kitahiroshima golf cluster, Sapporo International Country Club's three rotating nines and six decades of history make it a solid, dependable anchor. Its Shimamatsu address places it within a short drive of several other clubs sharing similar street addresses, reflecting just how concentrated this suburban Sapporo golf district has become since the club's original 1963 opening.
