Ishikari Heigen Country Club

Ishikari Heigen Country Club, established in 1977 in Tobetsu north of Sapporo, rotates three nine-hole loops — Middle, South and West — across a parkland property on the Ishikari plain, one of Hokkaido's most productive agricultural regions. The three nines combine into 18-hole pairings each playing to a par of 72, with course ratings and slopes clustering around 70.7/121 to 73.1/123 depending on the combination, giving members and visitors variety across repeat rounds without a dramatic swing in difficulty. Bent grass greens and a golf season running April through November give the club a reliable, well-maintained playing window. Amenities include golf cart and club rentals, a putting green, and both a restaurant and café for golfers to relax after their round. Tobetsu's location places Ishikari Heigen within the same broader Sapporo-area golf cluster as Grand Sapporo and Happy Valley country clubs, making it convenient for CoGolfers members planning a multi-course day north of the capital. The wide-open plain setting gives the course a more exposed, expansive feel than some of the more wooded courses closer to Sapporo, and its rotating nines make it a good option for local golfers or visiting groups looking for a different look on each return visit.
