Sano Hillcrest

Golf Architect Desmond Muirhead Supervised Course

This impressive 18-hole course combines Western atmosphere with Japanese appeal. The unusual configuration of the one green and the green-side bunker surrounding it is especially eye-catching. Each hole has its distinctive style, ranging from an American type with accompanying pond to a level grove type, a highland type with encroaching forest, and a hilly type with subtly undulating fairway. All are highly individual, and each presents a distinctive challenge.
