Por Top 100 Golf Courses ·
The Fuji course is the younger of the two courses at Kawana and it was designed by Hugh Alison, opening for play in 1936. It’s laid out on a ripped elevated promontory and it’s the favourite course of many Japanese golfers.
With breathtaking Pacific Ocean views from the cliff tops, sunken folded fairways and plateaux greens surrounded by mature woodland and Mount Fuji as the backcloth, it’s easy to see why this course is so popular. At approximately $300 per round, the Fuji is the most expensive green fee in Japan, it needs to be something special.
With a back nine containing some of the best and most scenic holes in Japanese golf, we think that the Fuji course is worth every single yen.
Many golf tournaments have been held on the Fuji course, including the World Amateur Golf Team Championship for the Eisenhower Trophy in 1962. It hosted the Fujisankei Classic from 1981 to 2004, before becoming the home of the Fujisankei Ladies from 2005 to 2024. In June 2026, the course hosted the JLPGA Legends Championship Meiji Yasuda Cup.
