Mr. Kato is one of Japan's leading golf course architects and has designed many courses that have hosted the Japan Open, the PGA Championship, and other tournaments. The Taiheiyo Golf Club Ichihara Course has been highly acclaimed by professional golfer Shoji Ozaki as a course where you can fully enjoy the visual beauty and the fun of attacking.

The Course requires a variety of shots, so much so that it is said that you need to use 14 clubs. The Front 9 Course in particular is long and has many lakes and bunkers, requiring accuracy and power, while the Back9 Course is short but difficult around the greens, testing your approach and putting skills. The overall windy conditions make for strategic play.
