About this course

Akagi is an 18-hole course at Ikaho Kokusai Country Club in Shibukawa, located in Gunma Prefecture northwest of Tokyo. The course takes its name from Mount Akagi, one of the prominent volcanic peaks in the region. Designed by Mitsuaki Kobayashi, the layout occupies terrain characteristic of this mountainous area of central Honshu, where courses typically work with significant elevation changes and forested corridors. The routing reflects the topographical challenges common to Japanese courses built in volcanic highland settings. Holes move through varied elevations, requiring golfers to manage uphill and downhill shots while navigating the natural contours of the land. The design incorporates the native vegetation and takes advantage of views toward the surrounding mountains when the terrain allows. Ikaho Kokusai Country Club operates in a region known for its hot springs and resort character, part of the broader Ikaho Onsen area that has attracted visitors for generations. The club serves both members and visiting golfers, typical of many Japanese country clubs that balance private membership with public access. The course provides a representative example of mid-century Japanese golf architecture adapted to challenging mountain terrain, where strategic shot-making and course management take precedence over length.
