Playing Tips

With only nine short holes totaling around 726 yards, prioritize accuracy with short irons and wedges rather than relying on long drives.

Bentgrass greens are generally receptive—use spin and precise distance control to leave yourself makeable putts.

Because the course sits by the Kinugawa River, light breezes are common and can alter club selection on exposed tees and greens.

Take advantage of the facility’s practice areas (approach, bunkers, driving) to sharpen recovery shots and bunker play, which are often decisive on a short layout.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Utsunomiya has a Kanto inland climate with hot, humid summers and a distinct rainy season in June; winters are cool with occasional snow, and the nearby Kinugawa River often produces light breezes that can affect play, with stronger winds possible during late-summer typhoons.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable temperatures and stable conditions, avoiding the rainy season and hot humid midsummer.
