Hakone-en-golf is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, set on the shore of Lake Ashinoko and overlooked by the charming Mount Fuji.
At just 5936-yards you may be fooled into thinking that Hakone-en-golf is an easy golf course, but the subtle undulation changes, narrow fairways and clever use of bunkers make this a strategist´s dream golf course.
Unlike many modern-day golf courses, Hakone-en-golf requires the use of every club in the bag and puts an emphasis on the ability to create shots, moving the ball around obstacle to achieve the best position, resulting in a great score.
Many holes feature two green options, adding to the variety and challenge of the golf course.
For those that do not like water, then you have to come and play Hakone-en-golf, there is not a single lake or water hazard in sight.
Clubhouse facilities are superb, with large locker rooms and showers, a well-stocked and professionally run pro-shop and a superb restaurant that offers great traditional cuisine.
The practice facilities are superb, but you will need to be focussed as the backdrop of Lake Ashinoko is truly spectacular and golfers can be excused for getting lost in the view instead of their practice.
Hakone-en-Golf also has accommodation options for those looking for a pace to stay. Guests can choose between the Ryuguden Traditional Inn, complete with tatami-mat rooms or the more luxurious resort hotel of The Prince Hakone Lake Ashinoko Hotel.
