Playing Tips

The facility has three distinct 9‑hole courses (Wakakusa, Ikoma, Yoshino), so adjust strategy for each loop and prioritize course management over sheer distance.

Large, undulating bentgrass greens reward precise approach shots and delicate lag putting, so aim for the center when pin positions are risky.

Ponds and well-placed bunkers guard many approaches—favor safer angles and leave yourself uphill putts when possible.

With a total yardage of about 9522 yards (27 holes), some holes play long; control your tee shots to set up manageable mid‑to‑short approaches.

Wind can pick up in the afternoons in the Kansai inland area, so check conditions and consider clubbing up or down accordingly.
