About This Course

Mission Hills Country Club, designed by the renowned American architect Pete Dye, offers a challenging and strategic 18-hole course set in a mountainous landscape. The standout feature is the famous 8th hole on the OUT course, an island green surrounded by rocks and water. The clubhouse impresses with its elegant dark green marble interior. Conveniently accessible from Tokyo, it’s about a 55-minute drive from Nerima IC thanks to the new expressway. The club also provides comfortable accommodations, including a luxury hotel and cottages. Nearby attractions include the scenic Nagatoro rock formations and river cruises, making it a great destination for both golf and sightseeing.

Playing Tips

Tee shots often require accuracy over distance on a Pete Dye mountain layout—favor placement over power to avoid steep lies and hazards.

The famous OUT No.8 island green demands a precise club selection and calm nerves, as missing the green often results in a penalty or difficult recovery.

Account for elevation changes on approach shots—many greens sit above or below the tees, so take an extra club for uphill and reduce one for long downhill shots.

Bentgrass greens here tend to be fast and can be quite undulating, so prioritize lag putting to avoid three-putts and read subtle breaks carefully.

Wind can be variable and gusty in the valleys and ridges—check conditions from the tee and adjust trajectory and club selection accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Chichibu mountain area is generally cooler than central Tokyo, with humid summers and frequent afternoon showers, occasional gusty winds on the ridgelines, cool crisp mornings in spring and autumn, and cold winters with possible snow or frost.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November) are best for comfortable temperatures, clearer skies, and picturesque scenery; avoid mid-summer heat and heavy rains.
