4 courses, 36 holes
Teams of four people play 36 holes across four courses. The rules are in accordance with the rules of the NPO International Park Golf Association.
Himawari Park Golf Course has four courses: the Yew Course, the Sunflower Course, the Sakura Course, and the Dragon Course.
It features the highest quality lawn, competing for first or second place in the entire prefecture.
Hokuryu Town Himawari Park Golf Course is characterized by its magnificent views surrounded by 2 million sunflowers in the summer and its well-maintained, top-quality lawns.
The lawn is carefully maintained (mowing, watering, etc.) every day except in winter.
We often hear participants say, "The condition of the turf is so good that it's competing for first or second place in the entire prefecture."
The tournament was held against the backdrop of a vast sunflower field that was developed ahead of summer.
