Playing Tips

At 6,784 yards the course plays long, so prioritize consistent distance from the tee while avoiding risky lines.

Fairways are relatively narrow and tree-lined in places, so accuracy off the tee is often more important than sheer power.

Several holes use gentle elevation changes, so adjust club selection for uphill and downhill approach shots carefully.

Exposed holes can be affected by breezes off the Aso rim, so account for wind direction and strength when planning tee and approach shots.

Greens are bentgrass and well maintained with moderate speed, so focus on hitting the correct portion of the green and reading subtle breaks for putting.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Summers bring refreshing breezes from the Aso rim but can include the early summer rainy season and occasional typhoon-related storms in late summer; winters are generally mild though mornings can be chilly and frost is possible at higher elevation areas.

Best Season to Play

Spring and autumn (March–May and September–November) when temperatures are mild, skies are clear, and course conditions are at their best.
