Three key characteristics
- Forest, water and white birch shape a composed Fuji-foot landscape.
- Precise approaches matter on holes influenced by ponds.
- The club atmosphere and dress code suit experienced premium groups.
Course overview
Narusawa Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Yusho Shiota with supervision by Brian Jones. Its official guide moves through mature woodland, ponds and white birch, using water carries and exact green approaches rather than relying on repeated elevation drama. The setting gives a quieter Fuji-area experience than a resort-led property.
Terrain and layout
The layout uses woodland definition and water to frame decisions. The visual rhythm is calm, but approach shots—especially across ponds—require exact distance and direction.
Strategy and difficulty
The official guide identifies multiple holes where water and forest narrow the safe line. This is a course for controlled position and approach play rather than indiscriminate power.
