Playing Tips

Tee shots reward accuracy over length on this generally narrow, hilly course so prioritize position over power off the tee.

Expect coastal winds from the Sea of Japan to influence distance and ball flight on exposed holes, so check the flags and adjust club selection accordingly.

Approach shots should aim for the center of the bentgrass greens because surfaces are well maintained but can feature subtle undulations.

Account for elevation changes by carrying an extra club for uphill shots and being cautious on downhill approaches where the ball can run farther.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Niigata coastal/hilly location brings humid summers, cold snowy winters, frequent spring and autumn rain, and noticeable sea breezes that can change direction and strength during the day.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (roughly May–June and September–October) offers the most comfortable temperatures and clearer conditions for play.
