About This Course

Minami Sō Country Club is a 36-hole hill and forest course located in Ichihara, Chiba Prefecture. The course features two distinct layouts: the East Course offers varied challenges with holes surrounded by trees and water hazards, while the West Course is more open and longer in distance. Both courses have bentgrass greens with subtle undulations that add to the playing experience. Conveniently accessible from the Tokyo metropolitan area, the club is known for its warm hospitality and well-maintained grounds, creating a welcoming environment that encourages golfers to return.

Playing Tips

On the East Course prioritize accuracy off the tee because many holes are tree-lined and several are guarded by ponds that punish errant drives.

The West Course is more open and longer, so long hitters can gain a scoring edge but must manage distance on the long par-4s and par-5s.

Bentgrass greens feature subtle undulations—aim for the correct side of the hole and focus on speed control rather than aggressive reads.

Expect changing winds due to the hilly, near-coastal location; afternoon sea breezes can turn a presumed yardage into a full club difference, and uphill/downhill shots often need club adjustments.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Chiba’s near-coastal climate brings humid, hot summers with occasional heavy showers, mild winters with little snow, and diurnal sea breezes that strengthen in the afternoon and can influence exposed, hilly holes.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (October–November) when temperatures are mild, turf is in good condition, and play is most comfortable.

Dress Code

Please wear a jacket, blazer, or similar outerwear when visiting. Jeans or similar attire are not allowed for entry or play. Playing in extremely short skirts or shorts is prohibited.

Shoes Specification

Soft spikes only
