Playing Tips

Accuracy is more important than raw distance on this hilly, bunker-heavy course so prioritize hitting the fairway over trying to overpower holes.

The front nine features valley and pond crossings—play conservatively on the 5th and 7th holes and choose clubs to avoid water and trouble.

The back nine sits on higher ground and can be windy, so play a lower ball flight, check wind direction carefully, and adjust yardages accordingly.

Bentgrass greens generally roll true and can become firm and quick on sunny days, so be cautious with putting speed and read subtle breaks carefully.

Significant elevation changes mean you should club up on uphill shots and club down on long downhill approaches while aiming for controlled approaches to avoid numerous bunkers.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Amakusa area has a humid subtropical climate with warm, humid summers, an early-summer rainy season, and occasional typhoons in late summer, and the course’s higher holes are often more exposed to southerly or variable winds.

Best Season to Play

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable conditions with milder temperatures, lower humidity, and more stable winds, while avoiding the early-summer rainy season and late-summer typhoon risk.
