Eniwa Country Club (Hokkaido)

Eniwa Country Club is a multi-course Hokkaido destination in Eniwa City, best known for its championship Gold Course (ANA Open pedigree) plus Silver and Bronze layouts. Visitors can often book through major Japanese portals; summer is the prime window.

Quick facts

Who this course is for

• Golfers chasing a tournament-feel bentgrass day in Hokkaido
• Stay-and-play travelers pairing New Chitose (CTS) with a lodge / onsen night
• Mid-to-low handicappers who manage wind and birch-lined corridors

High handicappers can still enjoy Silver/Bronze when available—ask which course your tee sheet assigns.

Course overview

Gold is the headline: longer corridors, strategic bunkering, and true bent greens that reward center-of-green discipline. Birch and pine frame many holes; wind off the Ishikari plain can turn mid-irons into guessing games.

Silver / Bronze are typically slightly more resort-friendly but still demand accurate approaches. Do not assume all three play the same—check the day’s pairing when you book.

Green fees & booking

Hokkaido peak-season packages are not cheap. Planning ranges (per person, package-dependent):

• Weekday: often high-¥10,000s to ¥20,000s+
• Weekend / Gold peak: can climb well into the ¥20,000s–¥30,000s with lunch

Book via Rakuten GORA / OKCaddie booking. Filter carefully for which course is included. Rental clubs and caddie carts vary by plan—add them at checkout if you travel light.

Live quotes beat any static “green fee” number on a blog. Tax and meal inclusion differ by product.

Access

• Airport: New Chitose (CTS) → roughly 35–50 minutes by car toward Eniwa
• Rental car is simplest; taxis work for one-off rounds but add cost
• From Sapporo city: about 45–70 minutes depending on traffic

Fly CTS in the morning only if your tee time is afternoon. For 7–8 a.m. starts, stay nearby the night before.

Dress code & tips

• Standard Japanese club dress: collared shirt, proper golf bottoms, soft spikes
• Summer mosquitoes and sudden showers are normal—pack a shell
• Bent greens: miss short-sided pins; two-putt from the fat side

Bottom line

Eniwa is a Hokkaido bucket-list booking when you want championship conditioning—not a casual municipal loop. Lock the course name on the voucher, fly CTS with buffer, and play the wind before you play the pin.
