Tomakomai Golf Resort 72 Emina Club (West Left)

Overview: Emina West is the 6,877-yard, par-72 routing at Tomakomai Golf Resort 72 that leans most visibly into variety. The official description points to numerous doglegs and undulating terrain, while the current course is operated with GPS-equipped carts and forward tees that broaden the range of playable approaches. White birch and the Yufutsu forest setting remain present, but West's identity is the way the hole directions keep changing.

History: The resort opened in July 1974 as part of the larger Emina and Iris complex, and current facility references attribute the course design to Naoto Sugaya. West also has a documented tournament connection, including the Hokkaido Professional Golf Championship in 1994 and other professional and official amateur events listed by the operator. The Left directory record is mapped to this single West Course; the paired Right record is held rather than creating a false second route.

Did You Know? West's eleventh is a downhill par three where the daily wind direction can change the correct club. That specific hole gives meaning to the course's broader description as a varied layout. The routing is not only about doglegs on the scorecard; elevation, wind and the visual drop combine to make a short hole one of the day's more delicate decisions.
