Atami Club Higashi Karuizawa Golf Course

Atami Club Higashi Karuizawa Golf Course is a strategic 18-hole hillside layout in Annaka, Gunma Prefecture, Japan, designed so that most holes offer a clear view from the tee to the green. That visibility places the emphasis squarely on tee-shot placement. Ponds are positioned throughout the course to block the most direct lines of attack, forcing golfers to think carefully about their route on each hole rather than simply swinging away. Hole 13, a par-4, stands out as the most distinctive on the course, offering a remarkable panoramic view that sets it apart from the rest of the round. The combination of demanding strategy and scenic reward makes this a course that invites repeat visits.
