New Chitose golf trip: arrival-day rounds by the airport or a Sapporo hotel base

North Sapporo

[Winter Closure]Sweden Hills Golf Club スウェーデンヒルズゴルフ倶楽部

4.5Reviews 2

Keep the bags in a city hotel and travel out only for golf, and Sweden Hills becomes the first name on the list. The 27 holes split into three nines, so two days from the same bed can still mean two different pairings. Without a rental car, find out about transfers that suit the 06:00 range opening before anything else.

Chitose

[Winter Closure]Shin-Chitose Country Club 新千歳カントリークラブ

For a base on the Chitose side, Shin-Chitose Country Club is the most direct fit. Its 36 holes at par 144 (13,498 yards) allow two straight days on different courses, with the range open 06:00–19:00 and the restaurant 06:30–15:00. Staying near the airport keeps the transfer between bed, course and terminal short.

Tomakomai

[Winter Closure]Hokkaido River Hill Golf Club 北海道リバーヒルゴルフ倶楽部

0.5Reviews 1

River Hill is about 15 minutes from New Chitose Airport and offers an 18-hole, par-72 round over 6,452 yards. Fairway carts and a 10:00–14:30 restaurant make it a practical course for fitting golf into an arrival day.

Niseko

[Winter Closure]HANAZONO GOLF

5Reviews 1

Hanazono works better when the hotel itself moves to Niseko than as a day trip from the airport or Sapporo. The course runs 7,016 yards at par 72, the restaurant opens 07:00–16:30, and a large bath fed by Mt. Yotei spring water follows the round. Booking it usually means cutting rounds elsewhere on the trip.

Noboribetsu

[Winter Closure]Noboribetsu Country Club 登別カントリー倶楽部

Noboribetsu Country Club assumes you sleep in the onsen town rather than near the airport. It covers 7,094 yards at par 72, with the range and restaurant both open 08:00–17:00, so afternoon starts are possible, but a fixed ryokan dinner time makes the last tee time the real limit. Keep this base to a single course.

South Sapporo

[Winter Closure]Hokkaido Golf Club 北海道ゴルフ倶楽部

3.5Reviews 1

This 36-hole club can be reached without leaving the expressway for long on the way from the airport to Sapporo. It is one minute from Tomakomai-Nishi IC, and a choice of Lion or Eagle across 13,798 yards keeps a single day workable even from a Sapporo hotel. The restaurant stays open 08:00–16:00.
