Playing Tips

This is a tree-lined forest course where accuracy off the tee is more important than pure distance, so favor position over power to avoid the trees.

At 6,846 yards from the back tees the layout plays long, so consider forward or ladies’ tees to make the course more manageable.

Bentgrass greens generally run true and can become surprisingly quick on warm, sunny afternoons, so be cautious with putt speed.

Highland breezes can be steady and shift during the round, so always factor wind direction and strength into club selection for tee and approach shots.

Natural woodland and tree hazards penalize wayward shots, so prioritize fairway hits and practice controlled recovery shots and low punch shots when required.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Karuizawa’s highland climate brings cool mornings and comfortable daytime temperatures in summer, a distinct rainy season around June–early July, potential afternoon breezes that affect club selection, and cold winters with snow at higher elevations, so dressing in layers is advisable.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn is the best time to play, with cool summer days offering comfortable conditions and autumn (September–October) providing beautiful foliage; avoid the early-summer rainy season if possible.

Jacket wear is required when visiting the course (optional from July 1 to September 15). T-shirts, sandals, jeans, jerseys, and sweatshirts are not allowed for visiting or playing.
