Playing Tips

With a total yardage just over 2,000 yards, accuracy and short-game play matter more than distance on this short, hilly 18-hole layout.

Expect coastal breezes from Suruga Bay that can shift on elevated tees, so check wind direction before choosing clubs.

Bentgrass greens are typically smooth and can run a bit quick when dry, so judge pace conservatively and focus on lag putting.

Many holes use elevation changes so prefer controlled iron shots and favor the side of the fairway that leaves an uphill approach.

Take advantage of the 35-bay practice range to dial in wedge distances and get comfortable with your short clubs before starting your round.
