Playing Tips

Hilly terrain and frequent elevation changes make correct club selection essential—take one club less for long downhill shots and one more for uphill approaches.

The long downhill 2nd hole rewards a controlled tee shot aimed at the center of the fairway to avoid tree trouble and set up a straightforward approach.

Tree-lined fairways and natural woodlands penalize wayward tee shots, so prioritize accuracy over distance throughout the round.

Exposed holes such as the 12th can be breezy, so check wind direction and strength before committing to a club.

Bentgrass greens are generally true, so focus on precise approach shots and carefully read subtle breaks, using the GPS in the cart for yardage and strategy.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Chubu inland conditions mean hot, humid summers with occasional thunderstorms, pleasant and stable spring and autumn, and cold winters with possible frost or light snow; the hilly terrain can also bring morning fog and localized breezes.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (May–June) and autumn (September–November) are the best times to play for comfortable temperatures and stable conditions, while summer can be hot and humid and winter may bring frost or occasional snow.
