Playing Tips

Take advantage of the wide resort-style fairways by playing conservative tee shots to avoid the white bunkers that frame many holes.

Bentgrass greens are generally true but can have moderate undulation, so aim for the center of the green and plan for two-putts rather than aggressively attacking tight pins.

Typical highland elevation changes mean club selection varies—take an extra club for uphill approaches and one less for downhill shots.

Afternoon winds from surrounding mountains can affect ball flight, so check conditions and favor lower trajectory shots when breezy.

At 6,365 yards the course is moderate in length—long hitters can reach some par-4s but accuracy into the well-guarded greens is rewarded.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Myoko’s highland climate brings cool summers and chilly nights, frequent afternoon winds and mist, and heavy snowfall in winter that typically closes the course for months.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September–October) offer the most stable weather, comfortable temperatures and attractive foliage, making them the best times to play.
