Playing Tips

The hilly terrain makes club selection critical for uphill and downhill shots, so plan to go one club stronger for uphill approaches and one club shorter for downhill ones.

While fairways are generally wide, many holes demand accurate placement to avoid bunkers and slopes, so prioritize position over distance off the tee.

Wind can be gusty and variable on exposed ridges—use the GPS cart yardages and keep the ball flight lower when winds are strong.

Bentgrass greens at this altitude can play true and sometimes quick, so pay close attention to pace and subtle breaks when putting.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Karuizawa is a cool highland climate with chilly mornings and evenings, frequent summer rains and occasional thunderstorms during the rainy season, and breezy conditions that pick up on exposed ridges.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through autumn (May–October) is best, with autumn (September–October) offering the most stable weather and spectacular foliage; avoid winter due to heavy snow.
