About This Course

Kyu-Karuizawa Golf Club is a historic 12-hole course in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture. Set in the resort town’s established woodland environment, it offers a compact round with a par of 48 and a layout designed for precision, decision-making, and careful club selection. The course uses bentgrass greens and is suitable for golfers looking for a shorter, traditional-style experience rather than a full-length championship round. Its relatively small number of holes makes it well suited to a relaxed round or an efficient practice session while still requiring attention to approach shots and putting. The course was designed by J. Michael Paulette and Tom Nicol. Players should confirm current operating arrangements, access details, and tee-time availability before visiting.

Playing Tips

1
Use the compact 12-hole layout to focus on accurate tee shots and precise approach play rather than relying on distance.
2
Plan each club carefully because the par-48 design rewards controlled positioning and can expose inaccurate shots despite its shorter overall length.
3
Allow extra time to read the bentgrass greens, as subtle breaks and changing moisture from cool mornings can affect putting speed.
4
Check the wind before each shot, since sheltered woodland areas can make the breeze difficult to judge from the tee.
5
Treat the round as a precision and course-management challenge, maintaining concentration even when the shorter format feels relaxed.
