Hitsujigaoka Country Club (Left)

Overview: Hitsujigaoka Country Club is one of the closest full golf courses to central Sapporo, but the setting quickly becomes a white-birch woodland and hill course rather than an urban round. The current profile lists 18 holes, par 72 and 6,950 yards, with a generally gentle topography interrupted by enough uphill and downhill movement to alter the lie. It is a practical city destination with a proper championship-length scorecard.

History: The club opened on 13 June 1974 and is associated with Sadayoshi Mano. The official club describes its location as a white-birch landscape on the hills of Nishioka, while the current course references record a single established routing. Directory Left and Right labels are alternate records of that same course, so Left is used for the canonical profile and Right is held. No second course history is claimed.

Did You Know? The clubhouse is modeled on the former Hokkaido government building, an architectural detail confirmed by the club's own course information. It creates a distinctive arrival point before the round, while the course itself is framed by white birch and the Sapporo hills. The result is a profile that connects local civic architecture with the landscape immediately outside the city.
