Located in Takasaki, Gunma prefecture, Haruna no Mori CC was ranked No. 18 by Par Golf Magazine 2009 Best Japan Golf Courses. Rakuten Golf also rated Haruna no Mori CC the No. 1 golf course in Japan on their website during the month of August 2009;.

Jack Nicklaus, winner of 100 professional golf tournaments and world-class golf course designer outdid himself when he built the masterpiece at Haruna no Mori CC through an ancient pine forest in Gunma Prefecture with the magnificent Mt. Asama in the background.

In order to achieve perfect contrast and vividness of colour he added local maple, ash, birch and beech trees. The course is beautifully manicured from tee to green, and the palatial clubhouse is exquisite yet warm and welcoming.

In keeping with his strategy of desiging a course that is playable for everybody, five different sets of tees were constructed, allowing all different levels of golfers to choose the tees best suited to their game for an enjoyable and memorable round.
