Pete Dye Golf Club Royal Course sits on hilly terrain in Nikko, Tochigi, at Katakura 668, Nikko-shi. The course plays to a par of 72 over 18 holes and is operated under the PGM group. It was designed by American golf architect Pete Dye, whose layouts are known for strategic routing that works with natural terrain rather than against it, a fit for the hilly ground here. Golfers arriving by train reach the club via Shimoimaichi Station on the Tobu Nikko Line, and those driving can exit the Nikko-Utsunomiya Doro expressway at Osawa IC. The Royal Course shares its Pete Dye design pedigree and the same station and expressway access points with the nearby VIP Course, its sister layout a short distance away in the same Nikko area. The course is positioned within the wider Nikko region, an area more widely known for its temples, shrines, and mountain scenery, giving golfers here a base for combining a round with nearby sightseeing.
