Jozankei Country Club Komaoka Course

Overview: Jozankei Country Club Komaoka Course, formerly Sapporo Minami Golf Club Komaoka Course, is an 18-hole mountain course in Makomanai, south of central Sapporo. The current official profile lists par 72 and 6,740 yards, with a single bent green and a setting that looks toward the surrounding Hokkaido mountains. Mature trees and the natural rises of Komaoka give the round a settled character, while the yardage leaves enough room for a demanding full-length test.

History: The course opened on 10 May 1966 and was designed by Chin Sei-sui. The current operator records a later renovation by Taizo Kawata, begun in 2013 as a three-year program, and the club changed to the Jozankei Country Club Komaoka name in 2026. Those are identity facts rather than cosmetic details: the directory's former name and the current operating name refer to the same address and 18-hole routing.

Did You Know? Komaoka looks across the nearby mountain chain from Eniwa-dake toward Yoichi-dake, while its own fairways and trees carry more than 50 years of growth. That combination gives the course a strong sense of place: distant peaks supply the horizon, and the established woodland supplies the close-up texture of the round.
