About This Course

Shibayama Golf Club is a scenic 18-hole course set on gently rolling hills with an 18-meter elevation change. Strategically placed five lakes add variety and challenge, giving each hole a unique character. Players are encouraged to use a full range of clubs, facing diverse shot requirements throughout the course. Notable holes include the 7th short hole and the 8th mid-length hole, where a striking double-row bunker shaped like waves guards a water hazard. The vibrant contrast of blue water, white sand, and green fairways creates a thrilling and memorable experience, making Shibayama especially popular among female golfers.

Playing Tips

Factor in the modest 18-meter elevation changes when choosing clubs for approach shots as uphill and downhill lies will change yardage significantly.

Five strategically placed lakes come into play on many holes, so favor conservative tee placements and avoid aggressive lines that bring water hazards—the 7th and 8th holes are particularly risk-reward.

The bentgrass greens are high quality and can be true and fast when firm, so assess speed on the practice putting green and aim for the center when uncertain.

Wind off the nearby low hills and water can be changeable; check wind direction from elevated tees and adjust club selection and trajectory accordingly.

At about 6,580 yards the course is moderate in length but strategic bunkering and narrower targets reward accuracy over raw distance, and note that only soft spikes are allowed.
