Playing Tips

The front nine features wide, open fairways with mountain views so you can be aggressive off the tee but avoid over-drives that leave difficult approaches.

The back nine presents more varied and strategic hole layouts that reward accurate tee shots and well-placed approaches into tighter landing zones.

Sitting at roughly 650 meters elevation, the ball will generally carry a bit farther than at sea level, so reduce club selection slightly on long shots.

Bentgrass greens here tend to be true and can run quickly, so take extra time to read subtle breaks and focus on controlling putt speed.

Winds often pick up on the plateau, especially in the morning and late afternoon, so consider lower-trajectory shots when it’s gusty and use a caddie if you want local slope and pin placement advice.

Local Weather Patterns

At about 650 meters on a plateau the course is usually cooler than Osaka city, often experiencing brisk winds in the morning and late afternoon, occasional morning fog, a rainy season in early summer and possible typhoon influence in late summer, with cooler winters and occasional frost or light snow.

Best Season to Play

Spring and autumn are the best seasons for mild temperatures, clear views of the mountains and Osaka Bay, and generally stable playing conditions, while early summer can be humid and late summer may be affected by typhoons and winter can bring frost and cooler temperatures.
