Saitama's premier championship course featuring three layouts—Middle, West, and East—each offering beautiful scenery. Two figures are inseparable from the history of Kawagoe Country Club: Hisako Higuchi and Torakichi Nakamura. Higuchi, who spent her youth as a trainee at Kawagoe CC, became Japan's first female professional golfer. Her achievements—73 career victories, the most in Japanese women's golf history—earned her induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2003, the first Japanese honoree. Nakamura, Higuchi's mentor and inaugural champion of the Chunichi Crowns, also designed the Middle Course. With greens of bent and zoysia separated from fairways mid-length, the course demands precise distance control, strategic play, and advanced approaches around elevated greens—a challenging layout even for single-digit handicappers. The West Course, with relatively flat holes and beautiful Musashino hill terrain, is recommended for enjoying the setting. Among the three layouts, the East Course offers the easiest scoring opportunities, making it ideal for women, seniors, and beginners pursuing their best scores. With 60 years of history, excellent accessibility from central Tokyo by car or train, and a legacy of legendary players, Kawagoe Country Club's demanding courses await your challenge.
