Forest Country Club

Forest Country Club is a 36-hole golf club in Shibata, Niigata Prefecture, Japan.

The scorecard here is for its East Course, which plays to a par of 72 over roughly 7,050 yards — a long course by Japanese standards, rewarding accurate ball-striking. The outward nine measures 3,588 yards to a par of 36 and the inward nine 3,462 yards to a par of 36, which makes the two halves near enough the same length.

The card is four par threes, ten par fours, and four par fives. The longest hole is the 1st at 620 yards, and the shortest is the 17th at 177 yards.

The course plays year-round; winter mornings can start under a frost delay.
