About This Course

Oakmont Golf Club is a 27-hole hilly course located in Nara Prefecture. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, it offers a mostly flat terrain with subtle undulations on the fairways and strategically placed water hazards that require careful planning and shot placement. The greens are visible from the tee or intermediate points, allowing golfers to accurately plan their approach. The flat areas near the intermediate points provide easier next shots, making course management key to scoring well. Soft spikes are recommended for footwear, and the course features Bentgrass greens for a smooth putting surface.

Playing Tips

Prioritize course management over distance because subtle fairway undulations and well‑placed water hazards reward accurate tee and approach shots.

Use the sightlines from tees and intermediate points to visualize your next shot and choose conservative lines when water comes into play.

Anticipate smooth Bentgrass greens that can be quick; focus on lag putting and leave yourself below the hole whenever possible.

Bring soft spikes and monitor afternoon wind shifts since inland breezes can strengthen and change club selection on exposed holes.
