トスカーナ バレー カントリー クラブ
A beautiful hilly course. The clubhouse is located at the highest point, and from there you can see the majestic course spread out below. There are three loops, from No. 1 to No. 9, No. 10 to No. 15, and No. 16 to No. 18, and all three start near the clubhouse and return to the clubhouse. There are spectacular downhill holes, uphill holes, flat holes, and dogleg holes, and water is involved in 15 of the 18 holes. There is also a hole that requires you to hit a pond over 200 yards on the tee shot, and one side of the fairway and around the green are on the water's edge, making good use of the water hazards. Bunkers are placed everywhere, and the greens are in good condition with moderate undulations. Originally built for residence buyers, this course has an elegant atmosphere, the garden at the entrance to the course is beautiful, and the tee ground over the pond is unique.

Course Introduction
A straight hole. The tee shot is downhill with a bunker on the left and a pond on the right. The green is long and guarded by a pond in front and three bunkers in the back.
A short long shot with a slight dogleg to the left. Long hitters can get on in two. The tee shot goes over a pond, and the fairway is wide. For the second shot, there are fairways on both sides of a creek, and you usually hit to the left fairway toward the green, and the second shot goes over the creek. The green is elevated and guarded by two large bunkers, and is a gently sloping three-sided green.
This is a short middle hole with a slight dogleg to the left, and the second shot is over a pond, making it a beautiful hole. The second shot is a gentle downhill shot, and the green is backed by a pond and protected by five bunkers. Like the second hole, this hole is also played from an artificial tee ground that is floating on the pond.
The green is surrounded by a pond on the right side, and a long vertical ridge runs down the middle.
A long shot with a strong dogleg to the left. The tee shot is a gentle downhill shot with a pond on the left. There is a pond on the right for the second shot, but the fairway is wide. The green is guarded by three bunkers and a pond on the right, and there is a big bump in the middle of the green.
The island green is short and slopes slightly backwards.
A straight hole. The tee shot is a spectacular downhill shot over a pond. The second shot also goes over a pond onto a strong elevated green. There are five bunkers around the green, and the long green slopes steeply to the left.
A long, short shot over a pond with a two-tiered green with a large step.
A nearly straight and difficult hole. The tee shot is downhill and requires a 235-yard carry to clear the bunker, with a pond on the right side. The second shot is uphill and the green is guarded by six bunkers and has a long, three-tiered green with strong vertical differences.
A dogleg to the right. The tee shot is downhill with a pond on the right side, and the left side of the green faces the pond on the second shot. The green is long and heavily backed, with two guard bunkers on the right side.
A long and tough right dogleg. The tee shot is over a pond, and a creek divides the fairway into the front left and back right, so the shortcut to the right fairway requires a 240-yard carry over the pond. Both the second and third shots are uphill, so the actual distance is longer than indicated, and there is a bunker on the right side of the green.
