Playing Tips

The course is long (6,965 yd) so prioritize distance off the tee but favor accuracy because many holes are tree-lined with tighter landing areas.

Approach shots demand club selection care because greens combine bentgrass and zoysia, producing varied speeds and subtle breaks that reward conservative yardage choices.

Avoid the trees by keeping tee shots to the center of the fairway since recovery from the rough or among mature trees can be difficult and costly.

Wind is usually light in the sheltered forest sections but can be gusty in exposed stretches, so check conditions at each tee and adjust club selection accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Minakami has a mountain-influenced climate with cold, snowy winters, a rainy season in June, generally mild summers, and occasional late-summer typhoon activity, while spring and autumn offer more stable, cooler conditions.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–May) for mild weather and remaining early-season mountain views, and autumn (October–November) for peak fall foliage; avoid midwinter when snow can affect play.
