Playing Tips

Accuracy off the tee is crucial because many holes are tree-lined with relatively narrow fairways, so favor controlled tee shots over sheer distance.

The overall yardage is not excessive, so players who manage their irons and shot placement will often score better than big hitters who miss fairways.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained and show moderate speed, so concentrate on precise distance control and read subtle breaks carefully.

Wind from the Sea of Japan can be variable and gusty on exposed holes, so check conditions before each round and adjust club selection accordingly.
