Tomei Fuji C.C.

Tomei Fuji Country Club sits  opposite a valley to Mt. Fuji giving golfers frequent, often dramatic views of the magical mountain from many holes and tee boxes —  from straight drives aimed at the mountain itself to dramatic downhill tee shots with Fuji as the backdrop. The course layout blends wide fairways with plenty of elevation changes, valleys, and hazards, creating a balance of challenge and enjoyment for golfers of all levels. Whether under clear skies or misty conditions, the views make every round memorable.

Located in Shizuoka Prefecture near Gotemba, Tomei Fuji is about 90 minutes from Tokyo by car via the Tomei Expressway. While not the closest course to the city, its combination of scenery, course quality, and affordable green fees make it a strong value play. Golfers planning multi-day trips around the Fuji and Gotemba area will find it a convenient and budget-friendly addition to their itinerary. For those who also want to combine golf with shopping, the famous Gotemba Premium Outlets are only a short drive away. Because the course focuses on essentials rather than luxury frills (lunch is optional, for example) the focus is on strong value for visiting golfers. Even solo players are also welcome with no additional surcharge on weekdays!

The clubhouse shows its age but is well maintained, with a nostalgic character that local members clearly take pride in. Facilities are straightforward but tidy, offering a welcoming atmosphere. Dining is simple — typically a Japanese bento-style lunch — but well-prepared, inexpensive, and optional. Earning positive reviews for value. Practice areas include a small driving range, along with practice greens and bunker spots to warm-up before your round.

Toumei Fuji is an 18-hole, par-72 hill course with notable elevation changes and strategic green complexes — the greens can be fast and require good touch. The course measures about 6,679 yards from the back tees and is generally well maintained; its design (by Shigeru Ishii) dates to 1970, giving the course a classic, established feel rather than a brand-new resort look. This makes the venue a good pick for golfers who want measurable challenge plus excellent Fuji views, without the price tag of more famous championship venues.
