Katsura Golf Club

Katsura Golf Club, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. along with Donald Knott and Gary Linn and opened in 1993, sits in the golf-dense Uenae district of Tomakomai in southern Hokkaido. The semi-private, parkland-style 18-hole course plays to a par of 72 across 7,116 yards from the championship tees, with water hazards woven throughout the layout adding both strategic interest and visual appeal. A notable feature is the on-site Katsura Golf Academy, offering instruction for golfers looking to improve their game alongside their round. The club provides caddies, golf carts and club rentals, along with driving range and bunker practice facilities for warming up. Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s design pedigree, one of golf's most respected architectural names, gives Katsura a level of strategic sophistication that stands out even within Uenae's crowded field of quality courses. For CoGolfers members interested in playing a Trent Jones design during a Hokkaido golf trip, Katsura Golf Club offers a genuinely well-regarded test, and its location within the dense Tomakomai golf cluster makes it easy to pair with rounds at nearby Hokkaido River Hill, Chitose Airport or the Nidom Classic complex for a multi-course day in this part of southern Hokkaido.
