Asahikawa Takasu Golf Club

Overview: Asahikawa Takasu Golf Club is a spacious hill course north of Asahikawa, where the fairways use gentle changes in level and open views towards the Daisetsuzan Mountain Range. The current tourism profile records 18 holes, par 72 and 6,648 yards, with a layout designed to work with the natural terrain. Bentgrass greens, wind and visual pressure on the approaches provide the strategic interest, while the scale of the site keeps the round feeling distinctly Hokkaido rather than tightly urban.

History: The course opened in 1977 and has remained part of the Asahikawa-Takasu golf landscape for nearly five decades. Current tourism material describes the routing as self-designed and emphasises the relationship between its moderate elevation changes and the surrounding panorama. The active official site continues to present the course as a current destination with course information and reservations, so its history is one of continued regional use rather than a dormant legacy claim.

Did You Know? Takasu’s practice range is itself part of the landscape: the official profile describes a 240-yard downhill range with 14 hitting bays. That detail gives a useful sense of the club’s scale before the round begins. On the course, the same open setting means wind reading is not an afterthought. The official description specifically points to the need to combine fairway undulations, elevation changes and club selection to score well.
