Playing Tips

The West Course features moderate elevation changes and several ponds, so prioritize accuracy off the tee and plan approach angles to avoid water hazards.

The longer East Course is heavily tree-lined and demands controlled long irons and strategic tee placement rather than pure distance.

Bentgrass greens can have subtle undulations, so focus on precise approach shots and read the breaks carefully to avoid three-putts.

Because the layout is hilly, wind conditions vary by hole—check ridge-top wind and club down or up accordingly on exposed holes.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Chubu inland climate with hot, humid summers and a rainy season in June–July, occasional typhoon influence in late summer, mild and stable autumns, and cool winters with limited lowland snow; winds can be variable and stronger on exposed ridges.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–May) and autumn (September–November) when temperatures are mild, course conditions are pleasant and visibility for the views is best.
