About This Course

Yunohama Country Club is a scenic 18-hole golf course located in Tsuruoka, Yamagata Prefecture. Set on rolling hills, the course is framed by beautiful pine forests and offers stunning views of the Sea of Japan. The front nine is generally flat with wide fairways, providing a comfortable tee shot, but features challenging greens and tricky surrounds. The back nine presents more elevation changes and narrower fairways, requiring precise shots, while the greens are relatively forgiving. A highlight is the 11th hole, a memorable par 4 that plays downhill toward the sea, offering a dramatic and enjoyable golfing experience.

Playing Tips

Use the driver more freely on the front nine because the fairways are generally wide and flat, rewarding aggressive tee shots.

On the back nine, prioritize accuracy and conservative club selection due to narrower landing areas and pronounced elevation changes.

Treat the 11th as a strategic risk–reward hole since it plays downhill toward the Sea of Japan and is exposed to coastal winds, so aim for the center of the fairway when in doubt.

Greens are bentgrass with subtle contours and varying difficulty between nines, so take extra time to read breaks and control approach spin and pace.
