Playing Tips

The Palmer Course is longer and strategic so prioritize accurate drives and well-placed layups rather than just distance on the tee.

The King Course is shorter and more forgiving, making it ideal for practicing short game and course management.

Fairways are relatively narrow and the layout is hilly, so favor controlled, accurate tee shots over trying to overpower each hole.

Bentgrass greens are generally receptive but not extremely fast, so focus on approach proximity and reading subtle breaks carefully.

Wind from the surrounding plains can affect club selection—use the GPS nav and cart-on-fairway access (when allowed) to position for the best approach angles.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Furano experiences cool summers with frequent afternoon breezes, large diurnal temperature swings, and long, snowy winters that keep the course closed for several months.

Best Season to Play

Mid-summer to early autumn (June–September) when the course is fully open, fairways are dry and greens are in best condition.
