Thread: Hanno Kusunoki CC in Hanno Saitama

Played here on Friday.

http://www.pacificgolf.co.jp/hanno/index.asp

I took the Seibu Ikebukuro line Semi Express from Ikebukuro which took about 1 hour and 15 minutes, while the Super Express takes about 40 minutes. There is a club bus that runs between the course and station (every hour I think) which is about a 15 minute trip. A taxi to the course is about 2000 yen.

The practice range is a joke. Only 3 stalls and about 10 meters long. 1 box of 24 practice balls was 250 yen.

It is a beautiful 6,711 yard self play course with pretty wide fairways. There were some ball marks on the greens that needed to be repaired, and a few of the tee boxes on the back 9 were partially covered with fake grass.

We started 15 minutes later than our scheduled T-time, but the lunch buffet was awesome, and made up for it easily.

The carts were slow as hell, typical for most mountain courses, but the view on some of the holes was incredible.

Thanks for the review. Although, it'd be better if you could stick it in the right place:

That echoes the same thing my playing partner said

My infantile mind conjured up several different responses to your comment.
I'll just stick with the mature one:

I take it he was talking about your balls....oops I meant ball

Can you guys take it to a private forum? Don't need you guys to tee it up and chili-dip in public.

Yes, meant it in the mature sense. Since he is too much of a prude I didn't guffaw in his face, but upon hearing that, my sideways glance at his GF caused her to turn around and walk away. I'm gonna take the high road and assume that it was allergies that caused her shoulders to tremble, but if I was a betting man, I'd put my money on her winning an Oscar for hiding her laughter as well as she did.

I think they need relationship counseling.

Seriously though, chili dip would be nice right about now. And I do mean a real "7 layer dip". Not a microwaved bag of Camembert topped Doritos like I got the other day.

Thanks mate

No worries braddah, I obviously had a bit of trouble finding the right place to put it

It happens a lot when I'm drunk...................on the course that is.


My rule, no drinking after the third blow up hole. If it wasn't because I drive all the time I'd be sh@tfaced every round.

Seeing you play golf drunk would be an experience not soon forgotten. Maybe I should drive next time, or we can take a train. I'm definitely bringing a video camera next time, maybe even hire someone just to record the round.
