About This Course

Ashihara Golf Club features a scenic 36-hole layout divided into two distinct courses. The Seaside Course is characterized by flat fairways bordered by unique pine groves, with strategically placed bunkers and gentle undulations that require careful shot planning, especially considering coastal winds. In contrast, the Lake Course offers a more wooded setting with rolling terrain and tall pines surrounding independent holes, providing clear targets for confident play. Located in Awara, Fukui Prefecture, this club combines natural beauty with thoughtful design, making it an enjoyable challenge for golfers of various skill levels. Soft spikes are required on the course.

Playing Tips

On the Seaside Course plan for coastal winds and often play a lower, controlled ball flight or adjust club selection to compensate for gusts.

Favor accuracy off the tee—the pine-lined fairways and numerous bunkers reward placement more than raw distance.

On the Lake Course, account for rolling terrain and elevation changes by clubbing up or down and aiming for larger target areas rather than attacking tucked pins.

Greens are bentgrass with moderate speed, so take care reading subtle breaks and leave approach shots below the hole when possible to avoid difficult uphill putts.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Awara on the Sea of Japan coast typically has strong coastal winds that especially affect the Seaside Course, cold snowy winters with heavy snowfall, humid summers with occasional typhoons, and generally mild, pleasant spring and autumn conditions.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November) offer the most pleasant conditions and most reliable course access, while summer can be hot and typhoon-prone and winter brings heavy snow and possible closures.
