Playing Tips

The course’s gentle undulations and south-facing layout reward accurate tee shots rather than raw distance, so favor placement off the tee.

Fairways are on the tighter side so conservative club choice and keeping the ball in play will lower your score.

Bentgrass greens are moderately quick with subtle breaks so take extra time to read the grain and speed before putting.

Many holes offer clear views of Sakurajima and the Kirishima range but can also funnel prevailing coastal breezes so adjust club selection for wind on exposed holes.

Use the natural contours around the greens for chip-and-run shots since high flop shots are often penalized by surrounding slopes.

Best Season to Play
