Playing Tips

Keep tee shots conservative and aim for the middle of the fairway because natural mounds and uneven landing areas can penalize errant drives.

The famous 15th hole (the “Grand Canyon”) is a downhill par that plays longer than it looks, so club down for distance but leave your approach to the safe side of the green.

Greens are bentgrass and generally receptive but often show subtle undulations, so prioritize speed control and careful reads on approach putts.

The course sits on a gentle hill and plays exposed in places—check wind direction and strength at the top of the hill and adjust club selection accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Iwate experiences cool, snowy winters that close many courses, variable springs with rain and wind, warm summers with occasional typhoons, and crisp, stable autumn weather, so conditions on the hilltop links-style course can change quickly.

Best Season to Play

Best played from late spring through autumn (May–October), with the clearest skies and most comfortable temperatures in September–October when mountain views and foliage are at their best.
