Playing Tips

As a mountain course, pay careful attention to elevation changes and club selection on uphill and downhill shots.

Many holes demand strategic positioning rather than pure distance, so favor accuracy off the tee to leave easier approach shots.

Holes facing the Ariake Sea are prone to sea breezes and variable crosswinds, so account for wind direction and strength on each shot.

Greens are Zoysia (koma) and can be firm with noticeable grain, so check speed and break carefully before putting.
