About This Course

Evergreen Golf Club is a championship-level hilly course located in Kuriyama, Hokkaido. Designed under the supervision of Nancy Lopez, the course features two distinctive nines named after her children: "Ashley" (out) and "Erin" (in). The front nine offers a relatively gentle layout with fewer undulations, making scoring more accessible, while the back nine presents a strategic challenge with well-placed hazards. Notable holes include the elevated second hole with wide views and the narrow, right dogleg twelfth hole lined with out-of-bounds areas. With bentgrass greens and scenic surroundings, it provides a rewarding experience for golfers seeking both beauty and variety.

Playing Tips

The front nine “Ashley” is relatively flat so be aggressive off the tee to capitalize on birdie opportunities.

The back nine “Erin” is more strategic with well‑placed hazards so prioritize accuracy and consider conservative layups rather than forcing long carries.

The elevated 2nd hole rewards a confident long iron or fairway wood and offers wide views that help judge carry distances.

The narrow right dogleg 12th is lined with out‑of‑bounds on the right, so favor a safer tee position over trying to cut the corner.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained and can be quick with subtle breaks, so focus on distance control and careful reads on putts.
