## About the course

Shin-Sapporodai Golf Club lies in the Kurisawa district of Iwamizawa, in the farming heartland of Hokkaido's Sorachi region. Opened in 1974 and laid out by Izumi, the 18-hole, par-72 course measures 6,316 yards across gently rolling hills. Its broad, softly sloping fairways make it a favourite with beginners and casual golfers, yet the inward nine adds bite with two par 4s and 5s stretching beyond 400 yards. Bent greens, riding carts and a relaxed, self-service style keep the day simple and unhurried.

### An easygoing summer round in the countryside, _less than an hour from Sapporo._

The course is about 15 minutes from the Iwamizawa interchange on the Do-O Expressway, roughly 50 minutes by car from central Sapporo, so a round fits comfortably into a city stay. Like most Hokkaido courses it plays only in the warmer months, closing from mid-November to mid-April, when the cool, dry summers make for ideal golf weather. Afterwards, head back to Sapporo for a bowl of miso ramen and Genghis Khan grilled lamb, or continue to the hot springs of Jozankei to soak away the day.
