Playing Tips

At 7,008 yards the course plays long, so prioritize distance off the tee while managing risk to avoid long recovery shots.

The roomy, spacious layout rewards conservative tee placement—favor fairway position to set up comfortable approach shots.

Well-maintained bentgrass greens are receptive but demand good distance control and careful reads on subtle breaks.

Although inland Nara is relatively sheltered, exposed holes can develop light winds that will affect long clubs, so check conditions before teeing off.

Use hybrids and fairway woods into long par‑4s and par‑5s to maintain position rather than always trying to force driver shots.
