Playing Tips

The 27-hole layout and generous grounds allow forgiving tee shots, so prioritize positioning over distance to set up comfortable approach shots.

Bentgrass greens are generally smooth — aim to land approaches below the hole and be prepared for true, potentially quick putts on warm days.

Check the wind before each tee shot as open, rural terrain can produce swirling or gusty conditions that affect club selection and ball flight.

In spring and after rain the fairways can play soft and you may get extra roll control into greens, while late summer can firm things up, so adjust yardages accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Oshu in Iwate has a cool, temperate inland climate with cold, snowy winters, humid summers with a rainy season in early summer, and clearer, cooler conditions in autumn, so expect variable winds and chilly mornings outside mid-summer.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early summer (May to early June) and autumn (September to November) offer the most pleasant conditions with mild temperatures and stable weather, while heavy snow in winter closes or limits play and the rainy season in late June/early July can bring unsettled conditions.
