Playing Tips

The broadly rolling layout rewards accurate tee shots, but some championship-length routings used for the professional event demand precise long-iron and fairway wood play.

Bentgrass greens can be firm and quick in the warmer months, so focus on distance control and try to leave approaches below the hole for easier uphill putts.

Because the course is on an exposed plain, crosswinds and gusty conditions are common—adjust club selection and trajectory accordingly.

With 27 holes totaling over 10,000 yards across the different loops, pick conservative strategies on long par 4s and par 5s to avoid big numbers.

Note the course policy: soft spikes only, so prepare appropriate footwear to maintain traction and protect the turf.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The course sits on the open Tokachi Plain so summers are relatively cool and often sunny but exposed conditions produce steady winds, while winters are cold with significant snowfall.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (May–October) is best, when greens are in top condition and the weather is mild, while winter brings heavy snow and course closures.
