About This Course

Kitakami Country Club is a hilly 18-hole golf course located on elevated terrain around 200 meters above sea level in Iwate Prefecture. The course features long fairways with a flat layout, but demands accuracy as rough and mound-like undulations around the greens add challenge and pressure. Natural pine forests enhance the tranquil atmosphere, while numerous water hazards and large bentgrass greens require careful club selection and strategic play. Designed by Fujita, this course offers a rewarding experience for golfers seeking a scenic yet demanding round in the Tohoku region. Soft spikes are required for play.

Playing Tips

The course plays long at about 7,090 yards so favor distance off the tee but prioritize finding the fairway because narrow landing areas and water hazards heavily penalize wayward drives.

Many holes are framed by pine trees and the elevated setting exposes the course to breeze, so always factor wind into club selection, especially on long approaches.

Rough and mound-like undulations around the greens make accurate approach shots essential, so aim for the center of the large bentgrass greens when pins are tucked.

Numerous water hazards require strategic course management—lay up on reachable par‑5s and avoid risky angles that bring water into play.

Bentgrass greens are large with subtle breaks, so spend extra time reading putts and be conservative when attacking from off the green.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Iwate in the Tohoku region has four distinct seasons: winters are cold with significant snowfall, summers are mild to warm but can be humid with occasional typhoons, and spring is changeable and rainy; the course’s elevation (~200 m) makes it slightly cooler and often breezier than surrounding lowlands.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (May–June) and autumn (September–November) offer the most pleasant and stable conditions for golf, while winter is usually unplayable due to snow and mid‑summer can be hot and typhoon-prone.

Dress Code

◇ Upon arrival: Please refrain from wearing sandals, sweatshirts, or jeans. ◇ During play: Wear a collared shirt (including turtlenecks without folds) tucked into your slacks. Women may wear an overblouse.
