Playing Tips

The front nine opens with long, wide fairways so be aggressive off the tee to set up shorter approach shots and build momentum early.

The back nine features noticeable elevation changes—take an extra club on uphill approaches and deduct a club on the downhill holes to avoid leaving the ball short or overshooting the green.

The closing hole is an island green surrounded by water, so aim for the center of the putting surface and favor conservative club selection to minimize risk.

One bentgrass, one‑green setup tends to be receptive but can hide subtle breaks, so prioritize distance control into the green rather than attacking pin positions from long range.

Highland breezes can pick up mid‑round, especially on exposed back‑nine holes, so monitor wind direction and adjust aim and club choice accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

As a highland course near Karuizawa expect generally cooler temperatures than the lowlands, frequent afternoon mountain breezes that can affect club selection, a short rainy season with occasional sudden showers, and snow/ice in winter that forces the seasonal closure.

Best Season to Play

Mid‑spring through autumn (roughly May to late October/early November) offers the best conditions—cool summers are pleasant and autumn brings crisp air and good visibility; avoid the winter closure (late November–mid‑April).
