Playing Tips

At about 6,225 yards the course is relatively short so prioritize accuracy and position off the tee rather than trying to overpower holes.

The hilly terrain causes frequent uphill and downhill shots so club up on severe uphill approaches and club down on long downhill plays.

Designer Seiichi Inoue’s layouts reward shot placement—avoid aiming blindly at hazards and focus on leaving the correct approach angle to the green.

With mixed Bentgrass and Zoysia greens, expect Bentgrass areas to roll faster and hold lower, while Zoysia can be slower and more receptive—adjust approach spin and putt speed accordingly.
