Hokkaido Classic Golf Club

Hokkaido Classic Golf Club, designed by Jack Nicklaus and Michael Riley and opened in 1991, is one of the marquee courses in the Hayakita golf cluster of southern Hokkaido. The private, 18-hole course plays to a par of 72, with a course rating of 74.9 and slope of 131 from the champion tees at 7,059 yards, and mandatory caddie service is included in the green fee, underscoring the club's premium positioning. Specialized turf, including Penncross and TI grass on the greens and Pennway and Penneagle grass on the fairways, reflects the investment made in course conditioning. Walking is permitted, and the golf season runs April through November. Full clubhouse facilities include a restaurant, bar, showers and lockers. As a private club with Jack Nicklaus's design pedigree, Hokkaido Classic represents one of the more sought-after rounds in the region, and CoGolfers members hoping to play it are best served by arranging access through a local member connection. Its location within the dense Hayakita-Abira golf corridor means it's easy to pair with rounds at nearby Aloha Resort or Hokkaido Abira Golf Club for a multi-course day for golfers who can secure access to this well-regarded design.
