This beautiful, elegant, 18-hole course employs large ponds and bunkers in a skillful layout in which each hole is completely separated from others by natural groves and mounds.
Jumbo Ozaki has praised the highly strategic nature of the course, saying that it demands full use of all 14 clubs in a golfer’s bag. Since becoming the venue of the Descente Classic Munsingwear Cup, a big game on the men's professional tour, the course has been set up as a tournament course in many places, boasting a rating on par with that of the Gotemba Course. Over-seeding with bluegrass keeps the fairways green year round, allowing golfers to enjoy playing on fresh green grass regardless of season. The sand greens, which used to be known for their fast bent grass, have now become super-fast, mirror-smooth greens. Some top professional golfers praise these greens as perhaps being even faster than those at Gotemba.
With 18 holes totaling 6,842 yards, the course encourages golfers disappointed with their scores to challenge themselves to improve on their next round.
