Playing Tips

The front nine features elevated (砲台) bentgrass greens that demand precise iron shots and favor accuracy over power to hold the putting surfaces.

The back nine has more sloping fairways and elevation changes where stance and balance on uneven lies are important for consistent approach shots.

The 8th hole frames Matsuyama Castle and the view can be intimidating, so play conservatively for position rather than forcing distance into hazards or blind areas.

Being near the Seto Inland Sea means winds can shift and affect club selection—check wind direction on elevated tees and adjust shot shape and club choice accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Ehime has a mild maritime climate with frequent sea breezes from the Seto Inland Sea, a rainy season in early summer and occasional typhoon influence in late summer, so wind shifts and sudden showers are common.

Best Season to Play

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the best times to play, offering mild temperatures, clearer skies and lower risk of typhoons compared with summer.
