Furano Golf Course (King)

Overview: The King Course is one of two 18-hole routings at Furano Golf Course, set among the forests and rolling ground of Hokkaido. The official Prince scorecard gives the King layout par 72 and 6,659 yards from the back tees. Compared with its companion, the King is the more approachable member of the pair, but the fairway movement, surrounding trees and mountain backdrop still make club selection important.

History: Furano’s two courses were designed by Arnold Palmer, according to the current resort and tourism guides. The sources reviewed do not give a consistent opening year for this exact King routing, so the date is left blank. The course’s identity is secure: it is the King half of a 36-hole resort facility, with its own scorecard and hole sequence.

Did You Know? The King Course is shorter than the Palmer Course, yet the comparison is not simply about distance. Prince describes the King as the more beginner-friendly routing, while the shared forest setting and Palmer design vocabulary keep both courses connected to the same Furano golf story.
