Playing Tips

On this hilly, rolling layout prioritize accuracy off the tee rather than just distance to avoid trouble and leave better approach angles to the greens.

Account for elevation changes on approach shots because uphill and downhill lies can make a club play significantly longer or shorter than the yardage.

Bentgrass greens are typically well maintained and can be firm and quick, so take time to read subtle breaks and adjust putting speed accordingly.

Being near the Ariake Sea, sea breezes can influence ball flight and wind direction can shift during the round, so check wind often and adjust club selection.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The area has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild winters, a pronounced rainy season in early summer, frequent sea breezes that can change wind direction during a round, and occasional typhoon-related heavy rain and strong winds in late summer.

Best Season to Play

Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) are the best times to play for mild temperatures and stable weather, while the rainy season (June–July) and peak typhoon months (August–September) are best avoided.
