Playing Tips

At nearly 6,950 yards the course plays long so favour accuracy off the tee to avoid long approaches into bentgrass greens.

Pay close attention to elevation changes on the gently rolling, south-facing slopes because uphill and downhill lies will affect club selection significantly.

Bentgrass greens tend to be true and can run quicker than other surfaces, so read subtle breaks and control your speed on putts.

Tree-lined landing areas and strategically placed hazards reward controlled, well-placed tee shots rather than sheer distance.

Wind can be variable on exposed ridges, so check direction and strength before each tee shot and adjust your aim and club choice accordingly.

The Kanto inland climate brings hot, humid summers with a rainy season in June, warm pleasant springs, stable and cool autumns, and cold winters with occasional frost or light snow; breezes can pick up on exposed ridgelines of the course.

Best Season to Play
