Things you should know about golf in Ibaraki
Many of the courses are laid out spaciously on flat grounds.
Ibaraki is located in the northeastern part of the Kanto Plain, with flat areas (lowlands and plateaus) covering 64.4% of its area. Because the plains are spread out in the Southern, Western, and Kagyo regions (Kashima City, Kadoya City, Hokota City, Ushiori City, and Kamisu City), which are easily accessible from Tokyo, and in the Central region, golf courses with water hazards and trees skillfully placed on the flat terrain are the mainstream. The area has the third largest number of golf courses in the Kanto region after Chiba and Tochigi, and is popular among seniors and women because there are few ups and downs.
Close to the city center via the Joban Expressway and the Higashi-Kanto Expressway
To access Ibaraki 's golf courses, golfers in the Tokyo metropolitan area can take the Joban Expressway via Metropolitan Expressway Route 6 or the Higashi-Kanto Expressway via the Metropolitan Expressway Wangan Line. There are also golf courses along the Ken-O Expressway, which runs east-west from Tsukuba Junction on the Joban Expressway, and along the Higashi-Mito Road and the North Kanto Expressway, which extend east-west from Tomobe Junction. Golfers outside the Tokyo metropolitan area also have the option of Ibaraki Airport. There are direct flights from Kobe, Sapporo (New Chitose Airport), Fukuoka, and Naha.
Central Golf Club, the venue for the Japan Open and the Japan Professional Golf Championship, is popular
Ibaraki is home to numerous courses that combine strategic play with flat terrain. One of the most popular is Central Central Golf Club which has hosted two major men's tournaments: the Japan Open Golf Championship (1974, 1976) and the Japan Professional Golf Championship (1985, 1997). Its 36 holes from east to west inspire any golfer's desire for a challenge. Kasumidai Country Club also consists of the Kasumi Course (18 holes) and the Tsukuba Course (18 holes), a total of 36 holes, and is highly popular for its moderate level of difficulty and reasonable playing fees.
