Playing Tips

Prioritize accuracy and course management over raw distance because strategic bunkers, water and tighter landing areas punish wayward tee shots.

On the Camellia course, account for ponds and well-placed bunkers on approaches and favor conservative lines to avoid big numbers.

Shibazakura’s downhill holes require careful club selection—take one less club for long downhill carries and pay attention to roll-out into the landing area.

Azalea features modest elevation changes but notably undulating bentgrass greens, so approach shots should target the correct tier and expect subtle breaks on putts.

Always check local wind and pin position before committing to your shot as breezes can alter ball flight and bentgrass greens can be firm and quick on sunny days.
