About This Course

Naruzawa Golf Club, opened in 1993, offers a natural and serene golfing experience in Yamanashi Prefecture. Designed under the guidance of Brian Jones, the course emphasizes the beauty of its surroundings with minimal artificial additions. Featuring wide, flat fairways lined with red pines and birches, it provides a relaxed yet challenging round with strategically placed ponds and bunkers. Notable holes include the 8th, which requires a shot over water toward Mt. Fuji, and the picturesque 18th, where a pond surrounds the green like an island. This 18-hole, par-72 forest course suits golfers seeking both beauty and playability.

Playing Tips

Wide, flat fairways lined with red pines and birches make tee shots forgiving, but the course length (7017 yd) rewards distance off the tee.

Water hazards are pivotal on the 8th (a pond carry with views toward Mt. Fuji) and the island-like 18th green, so prioritize accurate approaches over aggressive lines.

Bunkers are strategically placed around landing areas and greens, so choose clubs conservatively to avoid recovery shots.

Bentgrass greens generally roll true but feature subtle undulations, so hit firm approaches and take extra time to read breaks.

Wind can be variable and gusty near Mt. Fuji, so always check wind direction and adjust club selection on exposed holes.
