プラムカントリークラブ

Hokkaido's Tokachi region is one of Japan's most quietly compelling landscapes for golf — wide agricultural plains stretching toward the Hidaka Mountains, with a climate and scale that feel nothing like the dense, mountainous courses of Honshu. Plum Country Club sits in Sarubetsu village, a farming community in the Kasai district where dairy and potato fields define the countryside. The name itself hints at the fruit orchards and cool-season agriculture that shape this corner of eastern Hokkaido.

Golf in the Tokachi plain tends toward generous, open layouts that let the landscape breathe — courses here reward strategic thinking over sheer recovery skill, with broad fairways framing views of the agricultural horizon and the distant peaks of the Hidaka range. The short growing season means courses open in spring with fresh intensity and close before winter sets in hard, making each round feel like a proper seasonal occasion.

For visitors making the drive from Obihiro, the region's hub city roughly 30 kilometers to the northwest, Plum Country Club offers a relaxed rural club experience — the kind of honest, unhurried Hokkaido golf that regulars from the mainland return to specifically for its openness and calm.
