Rusutsu Resort Golf 72 (Wood)

Overview: Rusutsu’s Wood Course spans 18 holes and plays to par 72 set among silver birch and the rolling ground of Hokkaido. Current resort information gives 6,402 yards from its principal tees. The tree-lined corridors create a different mood from the more open River layout, while natural ponds, creeks and the surrounding mountains provide hazards and visual reference points throughout the round.

History: The Wood Course forms part of Rusutsu Resort Golf 72, a four-course, 72-hole destination. Resort material credits Curtis Strange with the course design or supervision, but No dependable opening date is published for the Wood routing in the current sources reviewed. The profile therefore keeps the architect while leaving the date blank, preserving the distinction between a supported design credit and an unverified chronology.

Did You Know? The 16th is identified in resort material as a signature hole. Its interest comes from the way woodland, water and the mountain setting frame the line of play, a useful reminder that the Wood Course is not merely named for the trees beside its fairways.
