trees. Starting at around the 200-yard mark from the green, the fairway
faces an uphill slope, and becomes narrower. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| A difficult and long par four with a fairway
sloping to the left. Both the tight fairway and the elevated green are surrounded
by a valley on the left and a forest to the right. Accurate shots are required
for both the tee and second shots. |

from back to front and is guarded by two bunkers. |

|
|
| An "S" shaped par five that bends slightly to the
right before gently curving to the left. Players should note that on the
second shot, the OB zone on the left is in play. Players need to exercise
the course management where to hit each short, and to hit accurately in
or der to have a good score. players do not properly hit each shot with
accuracy, it will be difficult to obtain a solid score. The green is a two-tiered
with a strong slope. This is a beautiful hole. |

accompanied or introduced by a member to play.

the duck pot is said to be incredibly delicious because of the availability
of fresh duck nearby.
The 2020 edition of Top 100 Golf Courses ranked Ono GC (top100golfcourses.com)
as No.6 in its category of top 80 courses in Japan that has 2230 courses
as of 2019.
Isamu Ueda designed the other famous works in Japan are Shimonoseki GC,
Koga GC, Ibaragi GC, Onotoyo GC, Osaka GC, Gifuseki CC, Yokkaichi CC,
Narakokusai GC, etc.
Mr. Toyohiko Inui, who served as the chairman of the Japan Golf Association,
built the Ono Golf Course when he was the president of Hirono
GC. The course was designed by Osamu Ueda based on Mr. Inui's request
of "I want to make the most of the natural terrain of this scenic
spot, therefore, try to keep the bulldozer's hands as low as possible."
Inui later created and designed Higashihirono GC with the same intention.
Since various flowering trees were planted on the course since its opening,
Mr. Inui was credited for the beautiful design of the golf course as it
strongly resembles the look and feel of a park.
