Izu Ohito Country Club

Three key characteristics

• Three nine-hole circuits provide variety and scheduling flexibility.
• Mount Fuji and the Amagi range establish a clear Izu sense of place.
• A 250-yard range plus approach and bunker areas supports group preparation.

Course overview

Opened in 1976, Izu Ohito Country Club is arranged as the Fuji, Hakone and Amagi nines. The official course describes generous fairways, natural valleys and carefully placed bunkers across a hill-course setting within the Izu landscape. Its 27-hole format and full practice facilities make it practical for organised groups as well as golfers building a multi-round Izu stay.

Terrain and layout

The course uses broad hill terrain, natural carries and changing elevation rather than a single repeated visual pattern. The Fuji nine places Mount Fuji prominently in view, while the full routing moves through different Izu landscapes.

Strategy and difficulty

Wide landing areas do not remove the need for position: valleys, bunkering and green approaches reward controlled placement. Miramar editorial difficulty: balanced rather than punitive.

Why play

• Use one property to experience three separate nines. Combine recognisable Fuji views with a practical Izu route. Pair it naturally with Kawana, Dai-Atami or Numazu after access is confirmed.

Playing format and facilities

The property has 27 holes, par 108, two bentgrass green types and a substantial practice area. Cart, caddie and visitor arrangements should be confirmed against the selected plan.

Representative holes

The official Fuji-course guide highlights the opening tee shot toward Mount Fuji; the three-nine format is the more important itinerary distinction than any single signature hole.

History, tournaments and distinction

The club opened on 19 June 1976 and credits Issuke Izumi for design and supervision. Official records identify Izu Ohito Development Co., Ltd. as the business owner.

Miramar assessment

A strong Izu programme anchor for mixed-ability private groups that value scenery, practice time and a less compressed 27-hole property.

Route planning

Base the stay in Izu, Ito or Atami according to the wider programme. The course can be paired with Dai-Atami, Numazu or Kawana, with private transport timed only after tee times and hotel sequence are fixed.
