About This Course

Athletic Garden Golf Club is a scenic 18-hole course located in Inashiki, Ibaraki. With a mostly flat terrain and only a slight elevation change of 7 meters, it offers a strategic challenge through its thoughtfully placed ponds and bunkers nestled within a forested setting. The course is beautifully surrounded by seasonal flowers, lush greenery, and water features that create a peaceful and visually appealing environment. Designed by Mitsuaki Kobayashi, this forest course features bentgrass greens and encourages the use of soft spikes. It provides a balanced yet engaging experience for golfers seeking a blend of nature and tactical play.

Playing Tips

With only about 7 meters of elevation change, expect mostly level lies so club selection is straightforward but precise yardages still matter.

Ponds and bunkers are strategically placed around landing areas and greens, so accuracy off the tee and conservative play toward hazards are rewarded.

Tree-lined fairways demand controlled tee shots and course management rather than pure distance to avoid blocked approaches.

Bentgrass greens are generally true but can be quicker than they appear, so use a light touch on long putts and be cautious reading subtle breaks.

Although the woods shelter many holes from wind, some open stretches can produce swirling conditions so check the flag and adjust club selection accordingly.
