Izu Ohito Country Club

The Fuji-Amagi course at Izu Ohito Country Club occupies terrain in Izunokuni, located in the northern portion of the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka Prefecture. The region sits within view of Mount Fuji to the northwest and is characterized by rolling forested hills typical of this volcanic landscape. Izumi Ikkai, a Japanese architect active in domestic course design during the latter decades of the twentieth century, routed the layout to work with the natural elevation changes and wooded corridors common to the area. The course takes its name from the Amagi mountain range that forms the spine of the Izu Peninsula, reflecting the broader geographical context of the property. The routing navigates slopes and valleys, with holes framed by native vegetation and occasional openings that provide sightlines toward the surrounding mountains. Elevation shifts create variety in approach play and require golfers to manage uneven lies and judge distances across changing terrain. Izu Ohito Country Club operates within the traditional Japanese member-club model, where access is typically reserved for members and their guests. The facility includes clubhouse amenities standard to Japanese country clubs of its era, with dining and bathing facilities that reflect local hospitality customs. The Fuji-Amagi course serves primarily as a members' venue, offering a layout shaped by the natural features of the Izu highlands rather than tournament demands or public recognition.
