Three key characteristics
- Japanese-garden character with mature planting and water features.
- A 6,741-yard, par-72 layout with varied doglegs and bunkering.
- A practical course for organised golf groups based around Narita.
Course overview
Taiei Country Club combines an 18-hole, par-72 routing with a distinctive Japanese-garden atmosphere. The official blue-tee table totals 6,741 yards, with 3,379 yards on the OUT nine and 3,362 yards on the IN. Distance is only one part of the test: ponds, doglegs, cross bunkers, guarded approaches and changes in elevation repeatedly shape the preferred line.
Terrain and layout
The course is not completely flat. Its parkland routing mixes water, moderate elevation changes and tree-defined corridors, creating different angles from tee to green.
Strategy and difficulty
Several holes ask players to choose between safer placement and a more direct line. Cross bunkers, ponds and narrow entrances to protected greens reward controlled position and accurate approaches.

History, tournaments and distinction
