Otsu Country Club occupies a privileged position in the Shiga golf landscape — a mature club with two courses set in the hills above Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest lake. The West Course is the more approachable of the two: a parkland layout that offers genuine variety and the kind of scenic backdrop that makes a good round feel even better.
The Course
The West Course is built on rolling terrain with mature tree cover framing the fairways throughout. The layout is balanced — a mix of demanding par 4s, accessible par 5s, and par 3s that require precise iron play. The greens are consistent and well-maintained, and the overall course presentation reflects a club that has been running at a high standard for decades.
On clear days, glimpses of Lake Biwa are visible from several elevated points on the course — a reminder that this isn’t just good golf, but good golf in a remarkable setting.
