Daiatsugi Country Club

One of the most extensive golf courses in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the Daiatsugi Country Club, features 45 holes. Located about 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) west of Tokyo’s center and takes only an hour to get there.

Its famed main course was opened in 1970 with 27 holes. Building on its success, the Sakura Course opened in 1980 with an additional 18 holes.
