Playing Tips

At 7,079 yards the course is long, so prioritize accuracy off the tee and choose conservative targets when trouble looms.

As a highland layout many holes have elevation changes, so adjust club selection for uphill and downhill approach shots.

Exposed holes can pick up coastal wind from the East China Sea, so check wind direction and often club up or down to compensate.

Greens are bentgrass and generally true, so focus on pace control and carefully read subtle breaks when putting.

Allow time for weather shifts and morning fog at higher elevation, and enjoy the natural hot springs after your round to relax tired muscles.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The highland setting brings cooler mornings and possible fog, a humid subtropical climate with hot, rainy summers (tsuyu) and a typhoon risk in late summer/early autumn, while exposed holes often experience noticeable coastal winds.

Best Season to Play

Spring and autumn (March–May and September–November) are best for mild temperatures, moderate winds, and lower risk of typhoons or heavy rain.
