Olympic Staff Ashikaga Golf Course

This is a hilly golf course and the first one designed by J. Nicklaus and his son in Japan. The first nine holes feature Nicklaus' distinctive style of mounds, reminiscent of a links course. In the back nine, some holes have water hazards, while others have unique sand traps that create different landscapes. Each of the 18 holes is designed with a balance of challenge and strategy, with obstacles requiring careful thought before attacking. The fairways are maintained even during winter to keep them green, which is one of the course's unique features.
