Playing Tips

The full facility totals over 10,000 yards so manage club selection and play for position rather than always trying to overpower holes.

Fairways are generally wide and forgiving, so prioritizing fairway hits will keep approaches shorter and scores lower.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained and tend to be medium to fast, so take care reading subtle breaks and control approach spin and speed.

Afternoon breezes from nearby Lake Biwa can influence ball flight on exposed holes, so check wind direction before choosing clubs.

With 27 holes and multiple nine‑hole combinations, pick the routing that matches your stamina and strategy for the day.
