Playing Tips

The course is laid out as three distinct nine-hole sections, so plan tee times and strategy knowing you can mix and match nines and recover between loops.

Expect elevation changes across a hilly layout and adjust club selection accordingly on uphill and downhill shots to avoid coming up short or overshooting greens.

Winds from the coast can be strong and gusty, so check direction on each hole and aim to play for position rather than pure distance on exposed tee shots.

Bentgrass greens can play firm and quick in summer, so prioritize accurate approach shots and focus on speed control when putting.

With a long overall yardage but moderate length per nine, favor conservative play off the tee to keep the ball in play and attack pins from short- to mid-irons.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Hokkaido has cold, snowy winters with the course typically closed under snow from late autumn to spring, short cool summers with generally stable weather, and frequent brisk winds in spring and autumn that can affect ball flight.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (roughly June to September) when snow is gone, temperatures are mild, and course conditions are most reliable.
