Wild Duck Country Club

Wild Duck Country Club is an 18-hole course in Kamisu, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, with a well-earned reputation for difficulty and scenic hole locations worth seeing in their own right. Water is the defining challenge here — 15 of the 18 holes involve ponds or creeks, demanding accurate shot-making and consistent ball control throughout the round. Scoring well requires precision rather than power. Large, prominent bunkers add a layer of psychological pressure on many holes. The sand itself may not demand the most technical recovery shots, but the visual weight of the hazards can affect decision-making off the tee and into greens.
