The famous Sodegaura Golf Club in Chiba Prefecture
consists of two sister courses, the Sodegaura Course and the Shinsode
Course. Recently due to the dilapidation of the Shinsode Clubhouse,
it was rebuilt. In rebuilding the Shinsode Clubhouse, consideration
was made to giving it a difference to the profound Sodegaura Course
so that members could enjoy two different club lives, while at the same
time keeping in mind that female players would be increasing in the
future. Therefore the building was given simple and lucid functions in a design
with a light feeling.

Open lobby connecting the entrance

The rebuilding was carried out while the old clubhouse was still being
used, so the layout was designed keeping in mind the position of the
building and redoing the car park. The building, surrounded by a flat
course and thick coniferous trees which mark history, consists of a
concrete foundation platform, a glass curtain wall, and a curved roof
protruding out the top, in a gentle shape which blends into the surrounding
nature.
When you enter the entrance area, you are led to an open lobby, which
connects to the starting terrace and the 2nd floor restaurant. With
this continuation, the golfers who come here are led naturally to the
fields.
