About This Course

Set in the Nasu Highlands at approximately 800 meters above sea level, this 18-hole course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. The layout follows the natural contours of the surrounding landscape rather than imposing a heavily engineered form, creating a setting in which the scenery and strategy are closely connected. Its varied terrain and thoughtfully arranged holes require players to assess lies, lines, and club selection throughout the round. With a par of 72 and bentgrass greens, the course offers a traditional full-length golfing experience in the wooded mountain environment of Nasushiobara. The design balances visual appeal with the need for deliberate shot-making.

Playing Tips

Assess the lie carefully on the varied terrain before choosing a club, as uphill, downhill, and sidehill positions can significantly affect distance and contact.

Favor controlled target-oriented shots over aggressive lines, since the natural-contour layout places a premium on positioning for the next shot.

Allow for changing mountain winds, particularly on exposed sections, and recheck the wind direction rather than relying only on the previous hole.

Plan approach shots with the bentgrass greens in mind and prioritize the safest part of the putting surface when pin positions are demanding.

Use conservative club selection on unfamiliar holes, as elevation changes can make visual distance judgment less reliable than the yardage alone.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

At approximately 800 meters, the course is generally cooler than surrounding lowlands, with noticeable temperature changes, occasional mountain winds, and increased chances of showers during the summer rainy season and afternoon thunderstorms.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through autumn is the best period, with especially comfortable temperatures in May, June, September, and October, while summer offers relief from the heat found in lower elevations.
