About This Course

Set on gently rolling hills near Lake Kasumigaura, the course features flat terrain with natural pine forests separating each hole, creating a classic British-style atmosphere.

Playing Tips

Fairways are lined with pine and separated hole-to-hole, so prioritize accuracy off the tee rather than trying to gain distance to avoid trouble between trees.

Bentgrass greens have subtle contours and demand a delicate touch on long putts, so take extra time to read breaks and speed.

Water hazards on the 6th and 18th are both strategic and visual, so plan your approach shots to leave comfortable uphill or short-to-mid range putts rather than attacking pins blindly.

Because the course sits on flat ground near the lake, wind can be a major factor—check prevailing wind and club up or down accordingly, especially on exposed holes.
