Hanno Kusunoki Country Club

Hilly course. The front nine and back nine each have their own characteristics. The front nine is mostly flat, offering an open and comfortable feel. As long as golfers can successfully navigate the narrower holes, as well as holes 7 and 9 — both of which require crossing a pond to aim for the green — they can achieve good scores more easily. The back nine, however, retains a large amount of trees and natural terrain, drastically changing the style of the course and creating a wider gap in skill levels between golfers. Here, golfers need to ensure shot accuracy and continuously test their judgment of attack routes, club selection, and other skills. In particular, the three holes starting from hole 16 feature a combination of valley crossings, downhill shots, and doglegs, making it impossible to relax for even a moment.
