Nemuro Golf Club

Nemuro Golf Club sits at the far eastern edge of Hokkaido, in the city of Nemuro, one of the closest points in Japan to the disputed Northern Territories and a place known for its rugged, windswept coastal scenery. Established in 1961, the semi-private nine-hole course plays to a par of 36 across 3,177 yards, with a course rating of 35.2 and slope of 88 reflecting a shorter, more approachable layout suited to its remote and often blustery coastal setting. Amenities include a driving range, practice bunker, pitching and chipping area, and putting green, and golf carts are included in the green fee, simplifying the round for visiting golfers. The operating season runs April through December. As one of the easternmost golf courses in all of Japan, Nemuro Golf Club is a genuine bucket-list stop for golfers looking to play in the country's most far-flung corners, and its modest nine-hole length makes it an easy addition to a longer eastern Hokkaido itinerary that might also include the Kushiro wetlands and Shiretoko Peninsula. For CoGolfers members chasing unique golf experiences across Japan, few courses offer a setting as remote and distinctive as Nemuro Golf Club.
