kurohime country club snow shoe

9 holes before breakfast. The beach in the afternoon. Summer is here! Or is it!?

When thinking about snow shoe courses, mountain trails, forest rindos and passes closed for the winter come to mind. Another great option are golf courses. Long sweeping drags of undulating terrain.

Kurohime Country Club sitting at the foot of Mt. Kurohime is a beautiful course. Closed for the winter I have the 9 holes to myself.

A long drive. Pitch over the small hills. And onto the green.

I do all 9 holes. It seems that golf buggies are all the rage these days. But if everyone walked the course it would be a more appealing sport.

I have some time to explore the surrounding forest and rindo network too.

Two and a half hours is plenty of time on the fairways. A ten minute drive home. Breakfast and coffee.

We spent the afternoon down the beach. A rare treat in January!
