Tokyo Yomiuri Country Club
About this course
Tokyo Yomiuri Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Inagi, on the western edge of metropolitan Tokyo. Designed by Seiichi Inoue and opened in 1964, the course was developed during Japan's postwar golf boom when many clubs were established to serve the capital's growing business community. Inoue, one of Japan's prominent golf architects of that era, routed the layout across varied topography that provides natural elevation changes uncommon in the Tokyo region. The course takes advantage of its hilly site to create strategic interest through uphill and downhill holes, with fairways that move through wooded corridors and more open areas. The design reflects mid-century Japanese golf architecture, which often emphasized playability for members while incorporating natural landforms into the routing. Greens are typically elevated or contoured to reward accurate approach play. Tokyo Yomiuri serves a membership drawn largely from Tokyo's business and professional circles, following the traditional private club model common in Japanese golf. The club maintains facilities that include dining areas where members gather before and after rounds, consistent with the social aspect of golf culture in Japan. Access remains limited to members and their guests, as is standard for established private clubs in the Tokyo area.

Getting there
Most international visitors arrive via Tokyo's Narita or Haneda airports, with Haneda offering the more convenient gateway at roughly 40 kilometers from the club. The drive west from central Tokyo into the hills of Inagi unfolds gradually, trading the dense urban fabric of the metropolis for increasingly wooded terrain as you climb into the Tama region's rolling highlands. Tokyo Yomiuri Country Club occupies a commanding natural amphitheater in these western suburbs, its forested ridges and valleys a world apart from the city below, yet remarkably close - a discreet sanctuary where Japan's golfing elite have gathered since 1964.
