June 26-29, 2025 (4 days) 5th JAPAN PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP by Sato Foods Last year, Professional Ryo Ishikawa, who also served as executive director, achieved his 19th career victory. We look forward to your enjoyment again this year. <A Course of Light and Shadow - Japan's Most Beautiful and Most Exciting Course> A championship course designed by Robert von Hagge, a world-renowned course designer also known as the "wizard of light and shadow," spread across a vast 540,000-tsubo expanse at the base of the Nasu Mountains. "Le Golf National," which served as the venue for the Paris Olympics, was also designed by von Hagge, and shares many common elements with its numerous ponds integrated with nature, gentle hills, and majestic course layouts separated by red pine forests. While highly regarded as a full-fledged championship course, hosting the men's professional golf tour "JAPAN PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP by Sato Foods" annually, it also allows golfers of all abilities, from beginners to advanced players, to enjoy play suited to their skill level. Shots from fairways covered entirely in bentgrass are exhilarating, and rounds while appreciating seasonal scenery provide an escape from the everyday. The adjacent Hourai Country Club is a sister course, where you can stay at the lodge, rejuvenate in the Senbon-Matsu Hot Spring, enjoy genghis khan at the Senbon-Matsu Pasture, and challenge both courses—an exciting experience.
