Sapporo Kitahiroshima Golf Club

Sapporo Kitahiroshima Golf Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 1976, rotates three nine-hole courses — East, South and West — into three 18-hole combinations, each playing to a par of 72 with course ratings around 70.7 from the back tees, which range from roughly 6,400 to 6,700 yards depending on the pairing. As a public course carrying a design credit from one of golf's most respected architects, this club offers accessible golf with genuine strategic pedigree, a combination not always found together in Hokkaido's golf scene. Bent grass greens and full amenities including golf carts, caddies, club rentals, a driving range and restaurant round out the offering, and walking is permitted for golfers who prefer to cover the course on foot. Sapporo Kitahiroshima's public access policy makes it one of the more straightforward clubs to book in the crowded Kitahiroshima golf district, without the membership arrangements sometimes required at neighboring private clubs. For CoGolfers members looking for a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design that's genuinely open to the public, Sapporo Kitahiroshima Golf Club stands out among its many Kitahiroshima neighbors, and its rotating nines offer real variety for repeat visits.
