About This Course

Hakone Lakeside Golf Course is a scenic 18-hole, par 72 course located in Kanagawa Prefecture. Featuring well-maintained fairways with lush bentgrass, the course offers vibrant greenery throughout the year. The front nine is characterized by dramatic elevation changes and wooded surroundings, providing stunning views of Lake Ashi and the surrounding highlands from the highest tee on hole 5. The back nine is relatively flatter but demands precision due to subtle undulations and narrow fairways lined by trees. Both caddie and self-play options are available with cart usage. Due to several blind holes, beginners are recommended to play with a caddie for a better experience.

Playing Tips

The front nine features significant elevation changes so adjust club selection—take an extra club for long uphill shots and one less for long downhill holes.

Several holes include blind tee or approach shots, so playing with a caddie or verifying yardages and landing areas will improve course management.

Fairways are relatively narrow and lined with trees, so prioritize accuracy off the tee rather than purely chasing distance.

Bentgrass greens are generally true but have subtle undulations, so spend time reading the grain and be precise with pace on longer putts.

Holes exposed to Lake Ashi can be breezy, so always factor wind direction and gusts into club and shot selection.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The mountainous Hakone area is generally cooler than the lowlands with frequent morning fog and mist in spring and autumn, a rainy peak during June’s rainy season and occasional typhoon-related rain in late summer, while winters bring cool temperatures with possible frost or light snow and exposed lakeside holes often experience gusty winds.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (May) and autumn (September–November) are the best times to play for mild temperatures, clear views of Lake Ashi, and colorful autumn foliage.
