Playing Tips

Expect strong and variable coastal winds that will materially affect club selection, so always check wind direction and strength from the tee.

The IN 12th is a famous short hole that carries over the sea, so choose a conservative club and factor wind and carry to avoid the hazard.

Bentgrass greens can be firm and quick on sunny days, so prioritize precise approach shots and spin control to hold the putting surfaces.

Use lower, penetrating ball flights into the wind and favor controlled shots over maximum distance to keep the ball in play.

On firm seaside fairways you can use run-up shots to your advantage, but avoid lines that allow the wind to push your ball toward coastal hazards.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Coastal Miyako experiences strong and often shifting sea winds year-round with milder summers that can be affected by typhoons and cold, snowy winters when the course may be closed.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (May–October) offers milder temperatures and long daylight for seaside play, but be mindful of typhoon risk in August–September.
