Playing Tips

The course is long and hilly, so prioritize accuracy and course management over raw distance off the tee to avoid narrow landing zones and blind shots.

Fairways play relatively narrow, so favor controlled tee shots with fairway woods or long irons when accuracy is needed rather than always bombing driver.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained but can be firm and subtly undulating, so read breaks carefully and try to leave approach shots below the hole for easier uphill putts.

Elevation changes and some elevated tees magnify wind effects, so adjust club selection for wind and consider conservative play when gusts are strong.

Given the overall length, be selective with aggressive lines on long par 5s and lay up to a preferred wedge distance when pin positions are tight.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Kobe's inland‑coastal location brings humid summers with a distinct rainy season in June and occasional typhoons in late summer, breezy conditions on exposed ridges, mild springs and autumns, and cool, drier winters.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (October–November) offer the most pleasant temperatures and the most stable weather, while the rainy season in June and typhoon-prone late summer are best avoided.

Dress Code

When visiting, please wear a blazer (except from June to September) and a collared inner shirt (year-round; collarless shirts must have a collar height of at least 3 cm). Please be mindful of summer and winter attire. T-shirts, down jackets, jeans, and similar clothing are not allowed. Entry may be refused based on your attire.
