Love this course. Make sure you grab beverages at the convenient store that's on the opposite side of the station as the park. This park is huge and after a long walk to the course which is deep in the mammoth park you'll want to quench your thirst. You can buy beer and food at a nearby restaurant (also in the park) and there are also bathrooms available in the park.
Did I mention it's in a big park?
The course itself is quite varied although there is little elevation.
I give it 5 chains because it's the only course I played while living in japan and it's the only place I've ever gotten an ace.
