Playing Tips

With minimal elevation changes and tree-lined fairways, accuracy off the tee is more important than raw distance, so prioritize placement over power.

Fairway access makes rounds more comfortable and allows easier recovery, so use the cart-on-fairway option when available to save energy for precise approach shots.

Bentgrass greens tend to be firm and can run quick in warm weather, so focus on speed control and aim to land approaches below the hole when possible.

Hokkaido can be breezy, especially on more exposed holes near the coast, so always check wind direction and adjust club selection for headwinds or crosswinds.
