About this course

The Queen Course at Narashino Country Club represents one half of a distinguished 36-hole facility in Inzai, situated in Chiba Prefecture northeast of Tokyo. Designed by Kinya Fujita, a prominent figure in Japanese golf architecture during the mid-20th century, the course reflects the design principles that shaped many of Japan's classic layouts during the country's golf development era. Narashino's dual-course configuration—with the King and Queen courses operating as separate 18-hole entities—follows a model common among Japan's established country clubs. The Queen Course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Chiba region, where natural elevation changes and mature tree plantings define playing corridors and strategic options. Fujita's routing takes advantage of the property's topography to create variety in hole character and shot requirements. The design emphasizes precision and course management, qualities valued in Japanese golf architecture, where strategic placement often matters more than raw distance. Narashino Country Club serves a membership drawn from the greater Tokyo metropolitan area, and the facility maintains the traditional country club atmosphere typical of Japan's established private clubs. The Queen Course, while perhaps less prominent in tournament history than some of Japan's major championship venues, provides a solid test of golf within a setting that balances challenge with playability. The course's conditioning and maintenance standards reflect the meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Japanese golf culture.

Getting there

Narashino Country Club is reached most conveniently via Narita International Airport (NRT), situated roughly 60 kilometers east of Tokyo, or the closer Haneda Airport (HND) on Tokyo's southern edge - the latter now the preferred gateway for most international travelers. From either hub, the drive into Chiba Prefecture unfolds across the Kanto Plain, a journey of approximately ninety minutes that carries you from the urban density of greater Tokyo into the quieter agricultural and residential landscape surrounding Inzai. The final approach winds through the gentle, forested terrain characteristic of this corner of Chiba, where the King & Queen Course emerges as a serene sanctuary of manicured fairways and strategic bunkering - a distinctly Japanese interpretation of championship golf architecture set apart from the capital's frenetic pace.
