Playing Tips

The tree-lined forest layout penalizes wayward drives, so prioritize fairway position over raw distance to avoid pine trouble.

Several holes feature water carries and doglegs, so choose clubs conservatively off the tee to leave comfortable approach angles.

Greens include both Bentgrass and Zoysia surfaces, meaning Bent areas tend to be faster and truer while Zoysia (korai) reads slower and can be bumpier, so check the green type before plotting putts.

Gentle undulations and newly renovated white-sand bunkers around greens make course management and precise short game play essential.

At about 6,800 yards the course plays long, so consider forward tees or strategic layups if distance is a concern.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Kanto weather brings hot, humid summers with frequent thunderstorms and occasional typhoons, cool dry winters with possible morning frost, and generally mild, comfortable conditions in spring and autumn; the pine-lined course shelters many holes from strong wind but exposed holes can still be affected.

Best Season to Play

Spring and autumn are ideal when temperatures are mild and the course is in good condition, while summer brings heat, humidity and possible typhoons that can affect play.
