Grand Sapporo Country Club

Grand Sapporo Country Club has operated as a public course in Tobetsu, north of Sapporo, since 1976. The 18-hole layout plays to a par of 72, with a course rating of 70.7 and slope of 121 from the white tees at 6,050 yards, and a shorter red-tee option at 4,979 yards for women golfers, making the course accessible to a wide range of playing abilities. Bent grass greens give the course a consistent putting surface, and its public status means it's open to any golfer without a membership requirement, a straightforward option for visiting players. Practice facilities include a driving range, pitching and chipping area, and putting green, and the club accepts major credit cards including Visa, Mastercard and JCB. An on-site restaurant rounds out the amenities. Tobetsu sits within the broader Sapporo-area golf cluster that includes Ishikari Heigen and Happy Valley country clubs, making Grand Sapporo an easy addition to a Sapporo-region golf trip. For CoGolfers members looking for an approachable, public-access course near the capital, Grand Sapporo Country Club offers a straightforward round without the logistical complications sometimes involved in accessing Japan's more private clubs, making it a good option for casual games or for golfers new to the CoGolfers community in the Sapporo area.
