Kamagaya Country Club, pine-lined golf on Tokyo's doorstep
Kamagaya Country Club opened in 1961 in Kamagaya City, Chiba, just east of Tokyo, and grew to 27 holes in 1970. Its East, Central and West nines (par 108 in all) run through pine forest on mostly flat, walkable ground with gentle natural undulations. The East is the longest, with wide fairways and heavily bunkered greens; the Central asks for placement over doglegs and water, including a carry over a gourd-shaped pond; the West is the most technical on and around its contoured greens. In 1998 the greens were rebuilt on sand bases with advice from American architect Tom Doak.
Three distinct nines among the pines, each asking a different question.
Kamagaya is a members' club, so visitors need a member's booking or introduction, and Sundays are reserved for regular members. For those with a connection, it offers classic parkland golf without a long trip: club buses run from JR Nishi-Funabashi, Tobu Kamagaya and Keisei Kita-Hatsudai stations, and by car it is about 9 km from the Keiyo Road. After the round, Funabashi and Ichikawa are close by for dinner, and central Tokyo or Narita Airport are an easy onward journey. The club closes on Mondays and over New Year.
