A-Brand Golf - Aveland Golf Course

Aveland Golf Course sits in Yoichi, a coastal town in Hokkaido better known for its whisky distillery than its fairways, though golfers who make the trip find a resort-style 18-hole layout that opened in 1994 and stretches to just over 7,000 yards from the back tees. The course rewards accurate ball striking off the tee, with well-defined corridors carved into the rolling Yoichi countryside and greens that hold approach shots cleanly. CoGolfers members visiting Hokkaido for a golf trip often pair a round here with a distillery tour, making it a natural stop for anyone building a Yoichi-area itinerary. The facility offers full cart and caddie service, along with a driving range for warming up before the round. With three tee options ranging from just under 5,700 yards to over 7,000, the course flexes to suit a wide range of handicaps, making it a good fit for mixed groups. Golfers organizing a game through CoGolfers in the Sapporo-Otaru corridor will find Aveland a manageable addition to a multi-course day, especially when paired with nearby Chisan Zenibako or the Otaru clubs. The clubhouse includes a restaurant and locker facilities, and the course maintains a full dress code and metal-spike policy typical of Hokkaido's more established clubs. For golfers who want to host or join an open game while exploring Japan's northern island, Aveland Golf Course is a worthwhile addition to a Yoichi golf community itinerary, blending a solid test of golf with the region's other attractions.
