Karuizawa 72 Golf (North)

Overview: Karuizawa 72 North covers 18 holes on a par-72 highland card and the most tournament-oriented member of the Prince resort’s group, according to the current course description. The official layout lists 6,989 yards from the back tees. Wide fairways, ponds and carefully placed bunkers create a varied round, while the cool mountain air and wooded edges give the course a calm setting even when the scorecard is demanding.

History: The current Prince page describes North as the highest-grade course within Karuizawa 72 and records its 18-hole, par-72 identity. The reviewed North pages do not name a designer or opening date, so those fields remain blank. The profile does not borrow a designer from the East or West courses.

Did You Know? The North Course has hosted major amateur championship golf, including the 2014 World Amateur Team Championships at Karuizawa 72 East and North resort venues. Its own signature is the combination of generous driving space and hazards placed to make the approach angle matter.
