Playing Tips

Although the course description notes wide fairways, it is a tree-lined forest layout so prioritize keeping tee shots straight to avoid heavy rough and trees.

Many tees offer clear sightlines to the green—use that visual information to pick precise targets and club selection rather than always hitting for maximum distance.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained and can be brisk, so focus on leaving approach shots below the hole and on good lag putting rather than aggressive long putts.

At nearly 6,900 yards the course plays long on some par 4s and par 5s, so carry sufficient distance and consider laying up to favorable angles on doglegs rather than forcing risky lines.

Wind near the Hakkoda foothills can change with elevation and time of day, so check flags and vegetation before every shot and adjust club choice; soft spikes are recommended.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Towada and the surrounding Hakkoda foothills have a cool, humid climate with mild summers, frequent rain in early summer and occasional gusty winds near exposed tees, and heavy snowfall in winter that ends the local golf season.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (roughly May–October) is best, with midsummer to early autumn (July–September) offering the most stable playing conditions and well-kept greens; the course is generally unusable during heavy winter snow.
