Maple Country Club–where you can test your technique and strategies.
Maple Country Club opened in 1987 after three years of construction following its motto “nothing built in haste becomes prestigious”. The essence of the world’s top golf courses has recreated in some courses at the Club. Famous double-greens of St Andrews for example have recreated in the Hole 1 and 10. The club is near the Koiwai Farm, 30 minutes’ drive from the Morioka Station, 40 minutes’ drive from the ANA Crowne Plaza Resort Appi Kogen.
