Playing Tips

Wide, flat fairways reward conservative tee shots—prioritize keeping the ball in play to avoid strategically placed bunkers and water hazards.

The back nine includes an optional EXTRA tee that can lengthen the course to a par 74, so confirm tee placements and club up when those tees are in use.

With few trees and an open layout, wind (including coastal breezes) can noticeably affect ball flight, so factor crosswinds into club selection and target lines.

Greens are bentgrass and often undulating, so focus on landing areas and lag putting to minimize three-putts on tricky breaks.

Although the fairways are forgiving, aggressive lines into well-guarded greens can be punished, so play safe routes when in doubt around bunkers and water.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Iwaki area has a coastal Tohoku climate with warm, humid summers often accompanied by sea breezes and occasional typhoons in late summer/early autumn, while winters tend to be milder with limited snowfall compared with inland areas, and the exposed layout can make the course feel windier.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (May–June) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable conditions, avoiding midsummer heat and peak typhoon risk.
