Playing Tips

Araragi course is very long so favor accuracy off the tee over sheer distance to keep approach shots into playable positions.

On Mominoki, flatter fairways hide subtle but demanding green undulations so aim for the correct shelf on approaches and prioritize lag putting to avoid three-putts.

Account for elevation changes when choosing clubs—many holes play longer or shorter than the yardage indicates due to uphill and downhill lies.

Bentgrass greens can run fast and hold firm in dry conditions, so take extra care with pace and read subtle breaks ahead of your putt.

Wind can be variable and gusty on exposed ridges; check prevailing direction on each tee and adjust club selection and aim for crosswinds.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The course sees four distinct seasons with a humid rainy season in June–July, warm but generally milder summers than lowland Kanto, clear and cool autumns, and cold winters with occasional snow at higher elevations, and exposed holes can be subject to moderate to gusty winds.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through autumn (May and October–November) offers the most stable weather and autumn foliage, while the rainy season (June–early July) and winter (snow/likely frozen ground) are less favorable.
