Ise-Shima Country Club Royal

Ise-Shima Country Club Royal is an 18-hole course set within Ise-Shima National Park in Shima, Mie Prefecture, Japan. The layout works with the natural woodland and terrain of the park, using gentle curves to complement the landscape across all four seasons. The design draws the surrounding forest directly into play, giving each hole a distinct character shaped by the land rather than imposed upon it. The greens were the first in the Shima region to use bentgrass, a choice that introduced subtle undulations throughout the putting surfaces and adds a layer of complexity to scoring.
