Zuien Country Club Century Fuji Course

Overview: The identity of Zuien Country Club Century Fuji Course comes from the setting first: uses a relatively open piece of the Fuji foothills to create an orthodox 18-hole parkland round, with broad fairways, shaped greens and a few water hazards that become most important near the landing zones. The official guide lists 6,435 yards and par 72.

History: The course guide attributes the design to Muramoto Construction and documents the current hole sequence, including a three-tier green on the first and a narrow fairway bordered by water on the 18th. A dependable opening year was not available in the reviewed official pages, so the profile avoids assigning one.

Did You Know? The final hole is a par five with a water line running up the left side from roughly 200 yards out. Its saddle-shaped green makes the finish as much a putting problem as a long-hole problem. The closing hole's water-left design gives the Fuji course a memorable finish: the 544-yard back-tee par five asks a long hole to be played with placement in mind.
