Hokkaido Country Club (Prince)

Overview: The Prince layout spans 18 holes and is rated par 72 beside Hakodate-Onuma Prince Hotel, with a current Prince scorecard total of 6,724 yards. It is the more compact and approachable companion to the expansive Onuma Course, using forest, ponds and small changes of elevation to create a round that depends on reading the next shot rather than simply overpowering the property.

History: The course reopened on June 1, 2017 under the Hokkaido Country Club Prince name after the former Hakodate Onuma Prince Golf Course had been closed since 2007. The official relaunch describes changes to hole combinations, bunkers and tees. A current architect credit was not found, so the profile records the reopening history without assigning an unsupported designer.

Did You Know? One clubhouse serves both the Prince and Onuma courses, yet the two layouts are intentionally different. Onuma is presented as the expansive, dynamic course, while Prince is the cleverer and more casual routing. That pairing lets the same mountain resort offer two distinct kinds of golf in one landscape.
