Playing Tips

Wide fairways and gentle slopes allow aggressive tee shots but favor aiming for the center to secure a flatter stance and easier approaches.

At 7,077 yards length is a factor so long hitters have an advantage while others should consider smart layups on long par-4s and par-5s.

Frequent elevation changes mean club selection must be adjusted for uphill and downhill shots, so confirm yardages before every approach.

As a highland course, wind can be stronger and more changeable on exposed holes, so always factor wind into tee and long-iron shots.

Bentgrass greens are generally true but can vary with season and maintenance, so prioritize distance control and read subtle breaks carefully.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The highland location produces cooler temperatures than the Kanto lowlands, with a rainy season in June, warm humid summers, variable winds in spring, and cold winters with occasional snow or frost at higher elevations.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable temperatures, stable weather, and attractive foliage, while summers are warm despite the elevation and winters can bring snow or frost.

Dress Code

At the club, we ask that you come and play in attire that does not cause discomfort to others; please refrain from playing or coming in jeans, T-shirts, tank tops, camisole tops, sweatshirts, sandals, etc.
