Hokkaido Golf Club

Hokkaido Golf Club, designed by Shunsuke Kato and opened in 1991, pairs two full 18-hole courses — Eagle and Lion — at a single semi-private property in the Nishikioka district of Tomakomai, part of southern Hokkaido's expansive golf corridor. Both courses share bent Pencross grass greens and bluegrass fairways and play to a par of 72; the Eagle Course measures 6,664 yards from the championship tees with a course rating of 73.1 and slope of 123, while the neighboring Lion Course stretches to 7,028 yards with a rating of 74.9 and slope of 131, giving the complex two genuinely distinct tests of golf. Golf carts are included in green fees, and caddies are available for those who prefer full-service play, alongside a driving range and on-site restaurant. The club operates year-round except during heavy winter snowfall, a slightly longer window than some of its Hokkaido peers. Tomakomai's dense concentration of courses, including nearby Tarumae Country Club and the Nidom Classic complex, makes this an easy stop on a multi-round southern Hokkaido golf trip. For CoGolfers members looking to sample two contrasting 18-hole layouts at a single facility, Hokkaido Golf Club's Eagle and Lion courses offer meaningfully different challenges from the same architect within one visit.
