The North Country Golf Club in Chitose is one of the easiest Hokkaido rounds to logistics-plan—close to New Chitose Airport (CTS), generally visitor-bookable in season, and popular with golfers connecting Sapporo trips.

Not a winter destination—Hokkaido courses shut or are impractical for most visitors in deep snow months. See Hokkaido summer golf.
Course overview
Open corridors and wind matter more than jungle rough. Keep trajectory controlled; club up into headwinds. Bunkers catch greedy lines. Greens can be firm in dry summer stretches—land approaches on the correct portion rather than spinning every wedge to a stop.
Summer daylight is long—still book sensible tee times if you have evening flights.
Green fees & booking
Hokkaido peak summer is demand season. Planning ranges:
- Weekday: often mid-¥10,000s to low-¥20,000s
- Weekend / holiday weeks: higher; Obon and consecutive holidays fill fast
Book: North Country booking. Add rentals early during July–August.
Access
- Airport: CTS → often about 20–40 minutes by car depending on exact routing and traffic
- Ideal for fly-play-fly or play-then-train to Sapporo
- Rental car or pre-booked taxi; don’t rely on crowded airport buses with hard cases
If comparing Chitose/Eniwa options, also look at Eniwa Country Club.
Dress code & tips
- Soft spikes; layered clothing even in July mornings
- Insect repellent can help in peak summer near vegetation
