About This Course

Royal Century Golf Club is a strategic 18-hole course located in Akita Prefecture, set among tall cedar trees that separate each hole. The course features rolling fairways shaped by natural terrain, with valleys or ponds lining both sides. Distinctive petal-shaped bunkers are thoughtfully placed to guide your shots but also pose challenging traps. Some seemingly easier holes can be deceptive due to bunker locations and large greens, requiring careful club selection, especially on dogleg holes with hidden water hazards. This course offers a thoughtful test of skill while blending beautifully with its natural surroundings.

Playing Tips

Accuracy off the tee is more important than distance because tall cedar trees create narrow, tree‑lined fairways.

Petal‑shaped bunkers are positioned to funnel shots and punish aggressive lines, so favor safe landing areas when in doubt.

Many doglegs hide ponds beyond the bend, so consider laying up or taking an extra club to avoid hidden water hazards.

Large greens show subtle breaks and vary in speed between Bentgrass and Zoysia surfaces, so spend extra time reading putts and adjust putting speed accordingly.

Rolling fairways and valley contours affect carry and roll, so factor elevation changes into club selection and shot trajectory.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Winters bring heavy snow and freezing conditions, summers are cool to humid, and spring/autumn are variable; many holes are sheltered by cedar but exposed tees or ridges can experience gusty winds.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (May–October) is best for play when the course is free of snow and greens are in good condition, with autumn offering cooler, more comfortable weather and fall color.
