About This Course

MGM Maniwa is a highland golf course located at an elevation of 450 meters in Okayama Prefecture. The course offers a generally flat layout divided into two distinctive sections, Hinoki and Ume, each providing a unique playing experience. The Hinoki course features wide-open spaces and plenty of length, allowing for powerful, long shots. The Ume course is also generous in length but offers more variety from hole to hole, requiring strategic shot planning. Designed by J. E. Crane, the course is suitable for golfers seeking an enjoyable round in a peaceful, elevated setting.

Playing Tips

Take advantage of the wide, long Hinoki side to swing freely off the tee, but play more conservatively on the Ume side where each hole requires strategic shot placement.

At 6,742 yards the course plays long, so prioritize distance and position from the tee to avoid long, difficult approach shots.

The layout is generally flat, so club selection is straightforward with few dramatic elevation changes to factor in.

Greens are bentgrass and typically true, so focus on precise distance control and carefully read subtle breaks.

Located at about 450 m elevation you can expect a bit more breeze than the lowlands, so adjust club selection on long shots accordingly.
