Elegance and Clean Highland Air


At an elevation of 1,300m above sea level, this luxuriously expansive facility in Kita-Karuizawa consists of two 18-hole courses—the Asama course and the Shirakaba course—for a total of 36 holes. It provides an opportunity to enjoy high-quality resort golf at its best. In addition, one of its greatest attractions is driving along the fairways in two-passenger carts that are both smooth-riding and ecologically friendly. In midsummer, the temperature rarely rises above 30 degrees celcius; and in the spring and fall, the shifting moods of nature show how wonderful golfing can be.
