About This Course

Village Higashi-Karuizawa Golf Club is an 18-hole course set along the scenic Kirizumi River, embraced by the beautiful Myogi Mountains in Gunma Prefecture. While the layout appears gentle at first glance, strategically placed ponds and creeks add a challenging dimension that tests golfers’ skills. A standout feature is the 8th hole, a short but demanding shot over the river. After your round, you can relax in the natural hot spring on site, known as Higashi Karuizawa Onsen. The clubhouse also offers popular dishes like steak and special gyoza, providing a satisfying dining experience. Soft spikes are recommended for play.

Playing Tips

1
Ponds and creeks are strategically placed so prioritise fairway position over raw distance to avoid awkward recovery shots.
2
The short 8th hole requires a precise club choice to carry the river and hold the green, so account for wind and elevation when selecting your club.
3
As a hilly course many approaches are played uphill or downhill, so adjust your club selection for elevation changes and trust the course yardages.
4
Bentgrass greens are generally receptive but can show subtle breaks, so focus on distance control and lag putting to avoid three-putts.
