Playing Tips

With holes maxing out around 70 yards, prioritize wedge distance control and precise landing spots over raw power.

Bentgrass greens are typically smooth and can play quick, so practice reading subtle breaks and controlling putt speed.

The compact five-hole layout is perfect for repeating a variety of short-game shots—use it to practice high lofted shots, bump-and-runs, and spin control.

Nagano's mountain breezes can alter short shots, so check wind direction before each shot and dress in layers for cooler mornings.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Nagano's inland, mountainous climate brings cool summers, cold and snowy winters, and frequent morning/evening temperature swings with light to moderate mountain breezes in spring and autumn.

Best Season to Play

Best played late spring through early autumn (May–October) when the greens are open and snow-free, while winter is generally unsuitable due to snow and frozen turf.
