The Forest Is the Hazard
While the Toyooka course at Musashi gets the headlines and the tournament billing, the Sasai Course is the one that local purists quietly love. It recently underwent a massive restoration to bring back the original 1950s design intent, a project that stripped away decades of cosmetic additions and returned the course to the bones that Seiichi Inoue originally laid down.
At Sasai, the trees aren't scenery. They are the hazards.
This is a forest course in the truest sense. The mature stands of trees that line every hole aren't decorative; they are the primary challenge, demanding precise flight paths on nearly every shot. Miss a fairway here and you're not in rough, you're in darkness. It rewards the player who understands trajectories and quietly punishes everyone else.
