Playing Tips

The mountain layout features frequent elevation changes, so club up on uphill approach shots and club down when hitting downhill to ensure correct yardage.

Several holes play through tree-lined corridors and narrower fairways, so prioritize accuracy off the tee over distance to avoid recovery shots.

Long par-4s and par-5s reward well-struck long irons or fairway woods, so plan conservative tee shots to set up manageable approaches.

Bentgrass greens are moderately challenging with subtle breaks, so take extra time to read the grain and speed on putts.

Wind can funnel through valleys and ridges—especially on exposed holes—so check conditions before each hole and adjust aim and club selection accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The course sits in a mountainous area with cooler temperatures than coastal Kanagawa, frequent morning fog in cooler months, a rainy season in early summer, and variable winds that funnel through valleys and ridgelines.

Best Season to Play

Spring and autumn are the best times to play for mild temperatures and clearer views of Mount Fuji, while summer is hot and humid with the rainy season and late summer brings typhoon risk.
