About This Course

Murow 36 Golf Club is a scenic 36-hole mountain course located in Uda City, Nara Prefecture. Featuring two distinct courses, Murow and Houike, it offers a challenging layout designed by Jack Nicklaus. The Murow course emphasizes strategic play and precision, with carefully placed bunkers demanding focus throughout the round. The Houike course makes the most of the natural terrain and requires accurate tee shots to navigate various traps creatively integrated into the design. The club recently upgraded amenities for female golfers, including advanced hair dryers in restrooms and bath areas. Additionally, the Houike course offers affordable lunch options, making it convenient and welcoming for self-play golfers.

Playing Tips

On the Murow course, precise approach shots are essential because strategically placed cross bunkers will punish off-line iron shots.

On the Houike course, tee-shot position is often more important than pure distance due to Jack Nicklaus–designed traps and natural contours dictating the best angles into greens.

Expect notable elevation changes—club up on uphill holes and be conservative with downhill club selection to avoid overshooting and long uphill returns.

Greens are bentgrass and can play relatively quick; focus on reading subtle breaks and controlling pace to avoid three-putts.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

As a mountain course in Nara, expect typical inland Kansai patterns: warm humid summers with a rainy season and occasional typhoon influence, cool winters with possible frost, and variable winds that can be gusty on exposed ridges while valleys are calmer.

Best Season to Play

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are best for mild temperatures and stable conditions; avoid the early-summer rainy season and the hot, humid midsummer when play is less comfortable.
