Playing Tips

Play the course twice from different tee markers and vary club selection on the repeat round to take advantage of changed angles and yardages.

The riverside, mostly flat layout makes wind a primary factor so always check wind direction and adjust your tee shots and approach clubs accordingly.

Most holes permit driver off the tee, but on the short par(s) prioritize accuracy over distance to avoid trouble around the greens.

Greens are Zoysia (高麗), which can have different roll and grain effects than bentgrass, so aim to leave approach shots below the hole for easier uphill putts.

The layout’s separated holes let you hit more aggressive drives without cross-hole interference, and soft spikes are recommended for good traction.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Saga in Kyushu has hot, humid summers with the rainy season (tsuyu) in early summer and a risk of typhoons in late summer, while winters are generally mild and drier; the riverside, flat setting often makes breezes and crosswinds a noticeable factor for play.

Best Season to Play

Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) are the best times to play, offering mild temperatures and stable conditions while avoiding the early-summer rainy season and peak summer heat/typhoon risk.
