Narusawa Golf Club

Set in scenic Narusawa village at the base of Mt. Fuji, this forest course unfolds across gently rolling terrain framed by Japanese red pine and silver birch. At an elevation around 1,100 metres, the climate feels invigorating — cool and refreshing even in summer — while classic Fuji views accompany many tees and greens. One signature panorama occurs on the 8th hole: a pond-front short that beckons with a “reverse Fuji” reflection on calm days.

Narusawa’s clubhouse reflects a timeless ethos: smart and understated. 
A quality restaurant offers satisfying fare following your round (note: lunch isn’t included with your green fees). The practice area includes a full driving range with ample bays and a bunker practice zone. Cart driving is not permitted on fairways, but spectator guests are welcome to join but must pay the regular play fee, and because there is no shuttle pick-up service, guests are advised to arrive by taxi or rental car. Jacket attire is requested inside the clubhouse outside of summer, because this is a prestigious member's course cherished by the locals. Singles play is available on request.

The 18-hole, par-72 layout blends wide fairways with cleverly placed water hazards and bunkers that challenge accuracy and course management from tee to green. The 8th pond-over tee toward Mt. Fuji is a standout and memorable moment of the round, while the finishing holes reward patience and finesse. Greens can be firm and fast with subtle grain nuances, making caddies invaluable for reading breaks and pin positions. Overall, players praise the course conditioning and thoughtful routing that keeps each hole fresh.

Narusawa Golf Club is a beloved gem among domestic players — often ranking near the top of Yamanashi golf destination lists and consistently earning strong reviews for its setting and playability. It also has a history as a host venue for the JLPGA Ladies Tournaments, adding to its competitive reputation. The course typically closes for winter from late December through mid-March, and bookings can be made up to three months in advance.
