About This Course

Kitami Herb Hill Golf Club is a scenic hilly course overlooking Kitami city, featuring a unique Scottish-inspired design. The front nine meanders through wooded areas with lush greenery, while the back nine is set in tall grass heathland, creating a distinct contrast. Spacious fairways allow for relaxed play, though some longer walk intervals exist. A highlight is the challenging 16th hole, a long par with a large pond in front of the tee requiring strategic shots. Located about 15 minutes from Kitami Station and 35 minutes from Memanbetsu Airport, it offers both a beautiful setting and convenient access.

Playing Tips

The front nine winds through wooded areas with narrower landing zones so accuracy off the tee is more important than pure distance.

The back nine plays in heath-like tall grass and is more exposed, meaning wayward shots are heavily penalized and conservative route-finding pays off.

The 16th hole is a signature long hole with a large pond in front of the tee, so plan your tee shot carefully and consider laying up to avoid the water.

Moderate elevation changes across the hilly layout make club selection tricky, so trust yardage adjustments and account for uphill or downhill carries.

Greens are bentgrass and generally hold approach shots well, but speeds vary by season—expect firmer, faster surfaces in cool dry weather and softer targets in summer.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

A cool, continental climate with long snowy winters (November–April), a short mild summer, and frequent winds—particularly on the exposed back nine—can affect ball flight and green firmness.

Best Season to Play

The best time to play is from late June to September when temperatures are mild, fairways are clear of snow, and greens are in best condition, with early autumn offering stable weather.
