Hakone Country Club, home to a private and well-rated tree-lined and open parkland layout, is located close to Lake Ashi in the Hakone highlands ... the foothills of the volcanic Mount Hakone and Mount Kamiyama. Bordering Hakone Country Club immediately to the south is Hakonekohan Golf Club, and to the north Daihakone Country Club. Course description, images and other details to follow.
Private club - guests can only play if hosted by a member.
The layout at Hakone CC was designed by Japanese golf course architect Shiro Akaboshi, who, with his brother Rokuro, was a keen student of golf design. The Akaboshi brothers paid close attention to the work of Charles "Hugh" Alison as the great British designer travelled through Japan in 1930. During this trip Alison designed (or redesigned) some of Japan's greatest courses, e.g. Hirono GC, Kawana Hotel (Fuji course), Kasumigaseki CC (East course) and Naruo GC.
The course hosted the Japan Women’s Open in 2002, and has also staged other premier tournaments.
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.
Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
