Mashiko: pines, ponds and pottery country
Opened in September 1976 in the rolling woodland of Mashiko, Tochigi, Taiheiyo Club Mashiko PGA Course is a Shunsuke Kato design of 18 holes and par 71, reaching 7,030 yards from the championship tees. Holes are separated by red pine, oak and chestnut, and ponds large and small appear throughout this flat, forested layout, which balances beauty with genuine difficulty. It hosted the Japan Women's Professional Golf Championship in 2004 and stages the JGTO qualifying tournament and the Taiheiyo Open each year.
A tree-lined test that rewards strategy, with a pro-level academy on site.
After the round, soak in the outdoor bath and try the clubhouse's signature Mashiko menchi cutlet. The town itself is one of Japan's great pottery centres, with kilns, galleries and seasonal ceramics fairs to browse, and Utsunomiya, famed for its gyoza, is the gateway: about 53 minutes from Tokyo by Tohoku Shinkansen, then a reserved club bus or a 40-minute taxi. Mashiko is a members' club, so visitors need a member's introduction to play.
