A Forest Course with a Palace for a Clubhouse
PGM Tomioka Country Club South Course opened in 1992 in the green hills of Tomioka, western Gunma. Designed by Mark F. Rathert, this 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches to about 6,600 yards from the blue tees on a spacious site where each hole is separated by thick stands of trees. It is a dynamic course that asks you to use all fourteen clubs in the bag, and the grand, palace-like clubhouse sets the tone before you even reach the first tee.
Tree-lined fairways and big-shouldered holes, under the gaze of Gunma's three famous peaks.
From the course you can see the Jomo Sanzan — Mt. Akagi, Mt. Haruna and Mt. Myogi — Gunma's three celebrated mountains, which glow with colour in autumn. You can play in GPS carts on your own or book a caddie in advance, and rental clubs are available if you are travelling light. The UNESCO-listed Tomioka Silk Mill is a short drive away, and the hot springs of Isobe Onsen in neighbouring Annaka make the perfect end to the day. Arriving by car via the Joshin-etsu Expressway is easiest, and the course pairs well with its sister North Course for a two-day golf trip.
