Designed to inspire, the Japanese Garden brings a sense of tranquility and harmony to the viewer, one is immediately drawn to the breathtaking waterfall, 15 meters high, it cascades over volcanic rock into a Japanese Coy (Carp) filled pond. The surrounding plantings and landscaping are native trees and plants and with the passing of the seasons put on dramatic displays of color and mood.

The Japanese Garden is located next to the practice green and is overlooked by the Clubhouse restaurant.

English Country Garden

This year Tsutsujigaoka enlisted the help o Scottish Garder Nick Lenaghan to design an English country Garden on the course to be enjoyed by Golfers during the round.The style used is quite new to Japan, yet gaining popularity in Europe and America, it’a modern look of combining perennial plants with ornamental grasses which creates a more natural aesthetic with the perennials such as Echinaceas and Monardas mixing with grasses such as Panicum and Miscanthus to create a softer, flowing style. Structure plants such as New Zealand flax and pampas grasses create a rhythm whilst adding a bit of drama to the overall effect. The country garden can be enjoyed on hole 12 next to the Tea house.

Tsutsujigaoka Country Club is located in the city of Ashikaga, which is known historically as the Eastern ‘Little Kyoto’ for its cultural, religious and architectural heritage. Just 78km from Tokyo, the club can be reached in 90 minutes from central Tokyo, and is located 10 minutes from the Oota Kiryuu inter-change.

The course, an 18-hole, 6,670-yard par-72, was designed by Mr. Katsumi Takizawa and built in 1991. The course layout is as unique as it is timeless, but most of all it is extremely fun to play, particularly the greens, which are quite large, quick but true. There is clever use of the beautiful local landscape, and maximizing on the many picture postcard views of the surrounding mountains.  The ‘Tsutsuji’ in Tsutsujigaoka means Azalea, and the club certainly lives up to that name with over 30 varieties on the course, one particular planting is over 300 years old.
