Playing Tips

At over 7,000 yards Rifu plays long so prioritize fairway position and controlled distance off the tee rather than trying to overpower every hole.

Subtle elevation changes and rolling terrain mean club selection can vary widely—take extra club for uphill shots and be cautious on downhill approach distances.

Bunkers and water hazards are placed to force strategic choices, so play to the safer side of landing areas when pin positions are tight.

Greens are a mix of Bentgrass and Zoysia with subtle undulations and can run fast in tournament setups, so focus on precise approaches and commit to your speed on putts.

Wind from the coast and valley can be changeable, especially on elevated tees, so check wind direction and adjust trajectory and club choice accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Miyagi has four distinct seasons with cold, sometimes snowy winters, a rainy season in June, warm humid summers with occasional typhoons, and cool, pleasant spring and autumn; coastal influence can cause variable sea breezes and gusty winds on exposed holes.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (May) and autumn (September–November) are the best times to play, offering mild temperatures, pleasant foliage, and more stable conditions while avoiding winter snow and the summer rainy/typhoon period.
