Playing Tips

The front nine features wide, relatively flat fairways so you can be aggressive off the tee and favor longer clubs to set up shorter approaches.

Treat the back nine as a precision test—accuracy with mid‑ and short irons is more important than raw distance to score well.

Large Zoysia greens show subtle breaks and grain influence, so take extra time to read putts and expect slightly slower speeds in cool weather.

Because the course sits at 400–600 m, mornings can be noticeably cooler which can reduce distance—consider taking an extra club early in the day.

With a total yardage around 5,543 yards the course plays short, so shorter hitters can be aggressive, and soft spikes are recommended for traction on hilly walkways and approaches.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Sited at 400–600 meters in Ehime, the course is generally cooler than the lowlands with crisp mornings, a noticeable rainy season in early summer and occasional late‑summer typhoon influence, while winters can bring chilly mornings and sporadic frost.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most pleasant and stable conditions for golf, with mild temperatures and good turf conditions; summer can be comfortable due to elevation but watch the rainy and typhoon seasons, and winters may be chilly with possible frost.
