Playing Tips

Positioning off the tee is important because the hilly terrain and strategically placed bunkers and valleys can severely penalize wayward drives.

Pay close attention to elevation changes and adjust club selection accordingly, taking one extra club for long uphill shots and one less for downhill approaches.

Approach shots should favour the centre or low side of greens since bentgrass greens are well contoured and can be quick, making recovery putts from above difficult.

Many holes require play to a particular side of the fairway to open up the green, so plan tee shots to leave the best angle for your approach.

Wind can be variable on exposed ridges and calmer in the basin, so check conditions at the tee and on the ridgelines and adjust trajectories and club choice.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Kansai region has a humid subtropical climate with a rainy season in June–July and possible typhoons in late summer; winters are generally mild and the hilly site can produce localized breezes and occasional morning fog.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (October–November) are the best times to play when temperatures are mild, foliage can be attractive, and course conditions are generally at their best.
