Chisan Zenibako Country Club

Chisan Zenibako Country Club has operated in Otaru, the historic port city west of Sapporo famous for its canal district and glassware, since 1975. The 18-hole course plays to a par of 72 with a rating of 73.1 and slope of 123 from the championship tees at 6,536 yards, and bent grass greens give the layout a firm, true putting surface typical of well-maintained Hokkaido clubs. A range of tee options down to 5,238 yards keeps the course accessible for golfers of varying skill levels, and the facility's caddie service, club rentals, golf simulator and indoor practice area make it a well-rounded option for both casual and serious golfers. The indoor facilities are a particular draw during Hokkaido's long winter, letting members keep their swing in shape when the course itself is closed. For CoGolfers members visiting Otaru for its canal-side scenery, sushi and glass-blowing workshops, Chisan Zenibako offers a convenient way to fit a round of golf into the trip without venturing far from the city center. Its proximity to Sapporo also makes it easy to combine with other rounds in the capital region, and the club is a solid option for golfers looking to organize a game or connect with local players while exploring Hokkaido's western coast.
