Playing Tips

Account for elevation changes on many holes and club up or down accordingly, especially on the notable long downhill par where the ball will play significantly longer.

Favor controlled tee shots rather than pure distance on narrow or tree-lined fairways to avoid difficult recovery from slopes and rocky areas.

Approach shots require precise distance control because the greens are bentgrass with noticeable undulation and subtle runoffs that can funnel balls away from pins.

Pay attention to wind direction and strength on exposed holes; a seemingly small headwind from the Asama side can change club selection by one or two clubs.

Use the on-cart tablet yardages to plan shots and take advantage of the practice facilities to dial in long-iron and wedge distances before your round.
