Playing Tips

Aim for the center of the fairway because fairways are relatively narrow, so accuracy off the tee beats pure distance.

Adjust club selection for elevation changes common on highland holes, as altitude can make shots play longer or shorter than yardage suggests.

Be prepared for steady wind on exposed holes and add or subtract a club accordingly when the wind is in your face or at your back.

Take advantage of the smooth Spring Bentgrass greens but spend time reading subtle breaks since speeds are consistent year‑round.

Dress in layers and bring waterproofs—weather can change quickly on the plateau, and soft spikes are required on the course.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Aso highlands are cooler than the lowlands with frequent winds, morning fog and rapid temperature swings; expect rain during the June–July rainy season and occasional frost or light snow in winter.

Best Season to Play

Late spring and autumn (May and September–November) offer the most pleasant temperatures and clear conditions, avoiding the rainy season and winter cold.
