Playing Tips

The course is hilly and strategically designed, so prioritize accurate tee placement over raw distance to leave the best approach angles.

Many fairways and second-shot areas feature slopes and uneven lies, so play conservative layups when a risky line would leave a difficult downhill or blind approach.

Expect variable breezes from the direction of Suruga Bay and down-valley winds in the afternoon, so adjust club selection and trajectory accordingly.

Greens are bentgrass and tend to be true but can exhibit subtle slopes and faster roll in summer, so take extra time to read breaks and control pace on downhill putts.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Gotemba experiences a cooler microclimate than central Tokyo with average summer temperatures around 25.8°C, frequent morning clarity that can deliver spectacular Mt. Fuji views, afternoon valley and coastal breezes that can affect club selection, a rainy season in early summer, and cold but often clear winters.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–May) and autumn (October–November) offer the most stable weather and the clearest views of Mount Fuji, while summer is pleasantly cool but includes the rainy season and winter gives excellent visibility at the cost of cold temperatures.
