About This Course

This course demands skillful play, making it particularly tough for average golfers. With two types of greens and a need to use all 14 clubs, it offers a strategic and authentic championship experience in the scenic hills of Kumamoto.

Playing Tips

Fairways are relatively wide so you can be aggressive off the tee, but position your drive to set up long approaches and avoid strategically placed water hazards.

Many holes play long so be prepared to rely on woods and long irons for both tee shots and second shots on par 4s and 5s.

Read the two green types carefully because Zoysia (Koma) tends to hold shots and roll more slowly while Bentgrass is faster and more responsive to spin.

Subtle undulations demand precise distance control on approaches and chips to avoid leaving long downhill or breaking putts.
