Obihiro Kokusai Country Club

Obihiro Kokusai Country Club, established in 1974 in Makubetsu-cho near Obihiro in Hokkaido's Tokachi region, rotates three nine-hole loops — Center, West and East — into three 18-hole combinations, each playing to a par of 72 with course ratings around 73.1 from the back tees, which range from roughly 6,500 to 6,900 yards depending on the pairing. The semi-private club offers golf carts, caddies and full practice facilities including a driving range, bunker, chipping area and putting green, along with an on-site restaurant. The golf season runs March through November, one of the longer windows in eastern Hokkaido. As part of the Tokachi region's agricultural landscape, the course offers wide-open views typical of Japan's most productive farming area, a contrast to the more wooded courses found closer to Sapporo. For CoGolfers members exploring Obihiro and the Tokachi region, known for its dairy farms and hot air ballooning, Obihiro Kokusai Country Club's rotating three-nine format offers genuine variety across repeat visits, making it a good anchor for local league play or a multi-round stop for golfers touring eastern Hokkaido's agricultural heartland.
