Otaru Country Club - Old Course

Otaru Country Club's Old Course offers a nine-hole complement to the club's more demanding New Course, sharing the Senkan neighborhood of Otaru on Hokkaido's western coast. The course plays to a par of 36 across 3,133 yards, a shorter and more relaxed test than its championship-length sibling, making it a good option for golfers looking for a quicker round or a warm-up before tackling the longer course. Otaru itself is one of Hokkaido's most beloved day-trip destinations from Sapporo, known for its historic canal, preserved warehouse district, glass-blowing studios and renowned sushi restaurants. For CoGolfers members visiting Otaru who want a shorter, more relaxed golf experience than the club's championship-caliber New Course offers, the Old Course provides an accessible alternative within the same historic port city. Its shorter length and lower time commitment make it a practical choice for golfers balancing a golf outing with the rest of Otaru's sightseeing and dining opportunities, and it's a good option for introducing newer golfers to the game or for a quick nine holes squeezed into a broader Sapporo-area itinerary.
