Playing Tips

The hilly layout includes many uphill and downhill shots so adjust club selection for elevation changes rather than relying on flat-yardage numbers.

Fairways play relatively narrow so accuracy off the tee is rewarded and conservative tee shots are often smarter than trying to overpower tight landing areas.

Greens are bentgrass and well maintained but can have subtle contours, so pay close attention to approach angles and reads for two-putt opportunities.

Wind from the surrounding highlands and Mount Asama can be changeable during the round, so check conditions at each tee and be prepared to alter club choice.

This is a championship-style course that favors strategic course management over brute distance, so plan each hole with layups and angles in mind.
