Playing Tips

The course is relatively flat but tree-lined, so prioritize accuracy and fairway position off the tee rather than pure distance to avoid blocked approach shots.

Several holes feature clear streams and water features, so plan conservative club selection into greens to avoid short-siding near the water.

Bentgrass greens run true and reward good speed control, so take extra time to read subtle breaks and avoid aggressive putts from a distance.

Because it is a forest course, wind is often light in sheltered areas but can be variable on exposed tee shots and clearings, so check conditions on each hole and trust the GPS data.

Take advantage of the GPS navigation and drone footage to identify safe landing zones and layup spots, especially where trees limit sightlines to the green.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Tamba/Hikami area has a Kansai inland climate with humid summers and a pronounced rainy season in June and occasional typhoon influence in August–September; forested, higher-elevation terrain keeps daytime temperatures a bit cooler than nearby cities, while autumn brings clear, stable conditions and winters can be cool with morning frost or occasional light snow.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–May) and autumn (October–November) are the best times to play for mild temperatures, stable weather and attractive foliage; avoid the June rainy season and the hot, humid peak of summer.
