Surrounded by the great outdoors on the outskirts of Hokkaido, Hayakita Country Club has recently undergone significant enhancements, renewing its sauna facilities for the 2025 season.
This article introduces the unique charm of the Hayakita Country Club sauna, which is the first golf course in Hokkaido to adopt a Harvia sauna stove, as well as the distinct Hokkaido gourmet experience available between rounds of golf.
【One of Hokkaido’s Premier Golf Saunas】Advised by Sauna Expert “Totonoeyakata” Mr. Matsuo
The sauna at Hayakita Country Club underwent a major renewal for the 2025 season under the guidance of Mr. Hiroshi Matsuo, known as “Totonoeyakata,” a highly respected sauna enthusiast.
This is the first golf course in Hokkaido to install a Harvia sauna stove equipped with self-loyly functionality.
Löyly is a traditional Finnish sauna practice that involves pouring water over heated stones to generate steam, enhancing both the sweat-inducing effect and relaxation experience.
Among golf courses in Hokkaido, Hayakita stands alone in offering this authentic löyly experience, complemented by a cold plunge pool maintained at below 16°C and outdoor relaxation chairs in the fresh air space. This exclusivity has attracted considerable attention from sauna-loving golf enthusiasts. (As of May 2025, Saunaikitai survey indicates the outdoor relaxation area is not available for women.)
The cold plunge pool is filled with ultra-soft underground water set at 16°C, providing a refreshing chill that tightens the body and maximizes the invigorating contrast with the sauna’s heat.
In addition, a newly established outdoor relaxation area exclusively for men allows guests to unwind while breathing in the pristine air of Hokkaido’s great nature. The fresh breeze and clear atmosphere deepen the sauna experience.
【Welcoming Women Sauna Users】Well-appointed Facilities for Female Golfers
The sauna at Hayakita Country Club is highly recommended for women who want to enjoy golf and sauna simultaneously. Separate sauna facilities for men and women have been renewed to create clean and comfortable spaces for female guests.
Besides upgrading amenities, the club is committed to enhancing the sauna experience for women golfers who want to refresh together after their round.
Hayakita Country Club continues to focus on meeting the needs of female golfers better than ever before.
【The Ultimate Reward after Sauna】Savor Authentic Genghis Khan and Hokkaido Flavors
One of the great attractions of Hayakita Country Club is the ability to enjoy Hokkaido’s specialty “Genghis Khan” lamb barbecue before or after the sauna. After revitalizing your body in the sauna following a rewarding round of golf, indulge in a sumptuous meal featuring locally sourced lamb to replenish your energy and refresh your spirit.
The onsite restaurant is renowned for its authentic Genghis Khan, grilling fresh, juicy lamb over a dedicated iron plate. Enjoying Genghis Khan after sweating in the sauna and warming your core offers a special culinary experience unique to Hokkaido, loved by many returning guests.
Summary
Hayakita Country Club offers a premium golf experience surrounded by Hokkaido’s vast natural beauty and has become a rare facility providing “Hokkaido’s only self-loyly sauna, 16°C cold plunge pool, and outdoor relaxation chairs” following its 2025 sauna renewal. It boasts clean, comfortable women’s sauna facilities, creating an environment where all golfers can refresh regardless of gender.
Moreover, the unique combination of sauna and Genghis Khan culinary delights enriches the local gourmet and relaxation experience, proposing a fresh way to enjoy golf, sauna, and Hokkaido’s tastes. Golfers interested in premium play, sauna, and authentic Hokkaido flavors are encouraged to visit Hayakita Country Club.
