Playing Tips

As a forest course with tree-lined fairways, prioritize accuracy off the tee to avoid trouble and set up shorter approach shots.

At over 7,100 yards the course plays long, so be prepared to hit longer clubs into many greens and manage risk rather than trying to overpower holes.

Bentgrass greens are meticulously maintained and can be quick on firm days, so dial in your approach distances and pay attention to subtle breaks when putting.

Coastal and local winds around Tomakomai can affect exposed holes, so check conditions and play lower trajectories when it's breezy.

The traditional caddie-supported walking format means local caddies can give excellent yardage and green-read advice, so use their guidance for club selection and lines.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Tomakomai/New Chitose area has cold, snowy winters that close courses, a short mild summer in June–August, and often breezy coastal conditions; spring and autumn can be changeable but September–October tend to offer the most stable golf weather.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (roughly June–October) is best, with warm summer months in July–August and cool, stable conditions and fall colors in September–October; avoid winter due to heavy snow.
