## About the course

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.
