Pros:

This is my first review. I am a recreational player.

The course was "renewed" within the last year which involved basket updates, tee-pad updates (pretty nice even for dirt pads) with tee-pad marker posts. There is a nice flow from #1 to #9 so it is easy to navigate.

There is some very enjoyable elevation changes to this course. Very few flat holes. The park is well-maintained as is the DG course. A very attractive park to visit (and play).

Holes are quite short, but you can unleash a few bombs on 5 and 6, and 7-9 have a bit more distance (by local standards). Bring a couple drivers.

The course is in a huge sports park, but nicely nestled in the less-used corner of the park. Other than some dog-walkers and a few joggers, you will not have a problem with people on the "fairways".

Locals have set up some of the old baskets in various places. New alternate holes are slowly being added. You could make some safari holes here after playing the regular 9.

Locals (if/when you meet them) are very friendly.

There are washrooms close-by (some are in better shape than others).

You could bring a family here, there is a small playground and other spaces for kids to play (if not interested in DG).

Cons:

This course will be hard to get to without a car. It is quite far from any train station.

Like most courses in the area, there are big bees around. They are not a constant problem, just be wary. Locals put pet-bottle traps around which is effective. Never had a problem with them in 20+ visits to the park.

Distances are posted, but on laminated cards stapled to the wood posts. They will be in disarray after the first typhoon comes through.

Taking a leak at the guys toilet by hole 9 is quite comical. You will understand when you get there.

Other Thoughts:

I feel kind of spoiled living in the local area having this course. By local standards, (and feedback from a few friends), it is a nice little course to put on your list.

There is another course in Ryugasaki that would make for a nice little 2-course day if you are travelling by car. Hitachi Seaside park is up the road another hour by highway.

Rumour has it that there was a '3-course tour' and a group of wildcats did all three Ibaraki courses in a day.
