Eagle Point Golf Club
Taizo Kawata routed Eagle Point in 1999 across woodland and open country about an hour northeast of Tokyo. A par 72 stretching close to 7,100 yards over bentgrass greens, it plays as a polished modern parkland test, private and member hosted, and a quiet prize for any golfer building a Tokyo itinerary.

The verdict
Taizo Kawata laid out Eagle Point in 1999 on rolling woodland in Ami, Ibaraki, a comfortable drive northeast of central Tokyo. It belongs to the wave of ambitious modern Japanese clubs built in the boom years, generous in scale, immaculate in conditioning, and built to championship length on firm bentgrass greens.
This is parkland golf of the manicured kind, broad landing areas framed by mature trees, water in play on several holes, and large greens that ask for control of distance more than heroics off the tee. Access is the catch. Eagle Point is a private members club where unaccompanied visitors are not generally received, so a round here is best arranged through a member or a specialist who can secure hosted play.

Designer, opening year, par and yardage verified June 2026 from leading Japanese course databases and golf travel listings; Eagle Point opened in 1999 to a Taizo Kawata design, a par 72 measuring close to 7,100 yards from the back tees. It is a private members club; outside visitors generally play only when hosted by a member, so there is no published public green fee. Always confirm access and any guest arrangement directly before planning a visit.
The holes worth the trip
Eagle Point unfolds across gently moving woodland, the corridors wide enough to encourage a confident tee shot yet shaped so the correct side opens the better angle. The bentgrass greens are the defining feature, large, well contoured and kept fast, so the premium is on a controlled iron and a sure touch from range.
The routing mixes muscular par 4s with reachable par 5s and a strong set of one shotters, water and bunkering tightening the margins as the round builds. It is championship in length without being penal, the kind of layout that rewards a player who plots a sensible route and stays patient.
The closing stretch runs back through the trees toward a grand clubhouse, the greens demanding precise pace to finish. Eagle Point gives back the polished, parkland golf that the best modern Japanese clubs do so well, a fine complement to the classic courses on a Tokyo golf tour.
