## About the course

Akita Kita Kūkō Classic Golf Club lies on the hills of northern Akita near Kita-Akita City, just ten minutes from Odate-Noshiro Airport. Opened in 2001 and designed by Takemasa Kitabayashi, the 18-hole, par-72 course measures 7,002 yards and is set on a former ranch whose rolling contours still recall its pasture past. Elevation changes between holes are mild and the sightlines are open: the gently undulating front nine offers scoring chances, while the flatter back nine brings trees and ponds into play, including a short hole over water at the 13th.

### Wide views across the whole layout from the clubhouse, _and bent greens players rave about._

Reviewers praise the value, the friendly staff and the condition of the greens, and the large practice range makes it easy to warm up. After the round the clubhouse offers a large bath. Northern Akita is wild, rural country: the Akita dog's home town of Ōdate, the Moriyoshi mountain area and the hot springs of the region make for a relaxed stay. The course is open from spring to late autumn, and with a flight of around 70 minutes from Haneda and a free airport pickup, it is surprisingly easy to reach from Tokyo.
