This charming nine-hole course features gentle elevation changes and offers stunning views of Mount Hakodate, Hakodate city, and the Tsugaru Strait from the 6th tee.

Playing Tips

Although the course has only nine holes, tees and greens are switched to provide 18 different playing experiences, so check tee placements and treat the second loop like a new layout.

The course is relatively short but features narrow fairways, so prioritize accuracy off the tee over pure distance to avoid trouble.

The 6th tee is elevated with panoramic views of Mount Hakodate and the Tsugaru Strait, but it is exposed and prone to crosswinds so adjust club selection accordingly.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained and can be firm and quick, so leave approach shots below the hole and take careful reads on the breaks.

Soft spikes are required; bring appropriate footwear and be ready for modest uphill and downhill lies due to gentle undulations around the course.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Hakodate has a maritime climate with cool summers and cold, snowy winters; frequent sea breezes and occasional fog occur, and winds off the Tsugaru Strait can be strong especially in spring and autumn.

Best Season to Play

Best season is late spring through early autumn (roughly May–October) when the course and greens are fully open and views of Hakodate and the Tsugaru Strait are clearest; the course is generally closed in snowy winter.
