Playing Tips

Prioritize accuracy off the tee rather than distance because fairways are relatively narrow and position often dictates the best angles into the greens.

Make use of fairway cart access to conserve energy on the hilly layout and to position yourself for comfortable approach shots on uphill or downhill holes.

Account for frequent elevation changes by adjusting club selection—you’ll often need to club up for uphill approaches and club down for long downhill shots.

The bentgrass greens are well maintained and run true; read subtle breaks carefully and expect slightly faster speeds on warm, sunny days.

Wind can be changeable along the Kuma River valley and on exposed ridges, so check the breeze at each tee and play conservative into crosswinds.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Kuma Country Club sits in a humid subtropical region with hot, humid summers and a pronounced rainy season in June–July, a risk of typhoons in late summer–early autumn, and generally mild winters; local valley and river conditions can bring sudden showers and higher humidity.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (October–November) offer the most pleasant temperatures and stable weather for golf, while avoiding the rainy season and typhoon-prone late summer.
