Playing Tips

At about 5,910 yards and par 69, the course favors accuracy and a strong short game over raw driving distance.

Tree-lined fairways reward controlled tee shots, so favor clubs you can shape and keep in play rather than always hitting driver.

The course uses both Bentgrass and Zoysia greens so expect noticeable differences in speed and roll and adjust your putting pace accordingly.

Winds in northern Kyoto are often light to moderate but can shift in valleys, so watch the flags and choose clubs conservatively when conditions change.
