About this course

Gold Kisarazu Country Club sits in the hills of Kimitsu in Chiba Prefecture, roughly an hour southeast of Tokyo. The course was designed by Isao Aoki, one of Japan's most accomplished professional golfers, who won numerous tournaments on the Japan Golf Tour and competed successfully internationally during the 1970s and 1980s. After his playing career, Aoki turned to course design and created several layouts in Japan that reflect his understanding of shot values and strategic play developed through decades of competitive golf. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Boso Peninsula's interior, where elevation changes and natural contours provide variety in stance and approach angles. Aoki's design philosophy typically emphasizes precision over distance, rewarding players who think their way around a layout rather than simply overpowering it. The routing takes advantage of the property's topography to create holes that require careful club selection and course management. Like many courses in the Chiba region, Gold Kisarazu serves primarily a membership drawn from the greater Tokyo metropolitan area. The club offers the traditional Japanese country club experience, where golf is complemented by dining and social facilities that reflect the formality and attention to detail common in Japanese golf culture. The course provides a retreat from urban density while remaining accessible for regular play, fitting the pattern of golf clubs that serve Japan's business and professional communities.

Getting there

The gateway to Gold Kisarazu Country Club is Tokyo's Narita International Airport (NRT) or the closer Haneda Airport (HND), from which the drive southeast across Tokyo Bay - often via the dramatic Aqua-Line tunnel and bridge - delivers guests to the forested hills of Kimitsu in roughly ninety minutes. The route transitions from the dense urban sprawl of greater Tokyo into the quieter, greener expanse of the Boso Peninsula, where the landscape softens into rolling terrain and scattered woodland. As the final approach winds through Chiba's interior, the sense of escape deepens, culminating at a club that feels worlds removed from the capital's intensity despite its relative proximity.
