Sapporo Elm Country Club (East)

Overview: Sapporo Elm Country Club's East Course uses eighteen holes and a par-72 scorecard within the club's 36-hole facility in Eniwa, south of Sapporo. Current course information lists 6,755 yards from the championship tees. The setting is a hill parkland mix of wooded corridors, open landing areas and changing ground, with water coming into play on five holes. The course's strategy is therefore spread across the round: tee placement, the lie left for the next shot and a confident approach all matter.

History: The current course information attributes the facility to Akira Hotsuchi, but the reviewed sources do not provide a sufficiently secure opening year. Rather than infer one from a commemorative reference, this profile leaves the date blank. What is clear is the club's established 36-hole identity and its continuing East/West course structure, with the two routes offering separate rounds within the same Eniwa setting.

Did You Know? Elm's current profile records 148 bunkers and two bent greens across the facility, alongside five holes with water. Those figures explain why the course can ask for precision even when the hole map looks generous. East should also be kept distinct from the directory's West Left and West Right records: those labels are alternate records around the West routing, while East is a separate published course.
