Playing Tips

Account for frequent elevation changes—take extra club for long uphill holes and one less for downhill approaches to avoid coming up short or overshooting the green.

Watch the wind: mountain gusts can be variable and strengthen in the afternoon, so check flag direction at every tee and keep trajectory lower when windy.

Bentgrass greens tend to be firm and can run fast in summer, so prioritize an accurate approach and read long putts carefully for subtle breaks.

The routing is technical and varied, so favor course management and conservative tee shots to avoid difficult recoveries rather than always attacking pins.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Mountainous Hokkaido weather: cool mornings often with fog, generally mild summers, and rapidly changing conditions with winds that tend to strengthen in the afternoon and during frontal passages.

Best Season to Play

Best played from late June through October when greens are firm, fairways are dry and mountain views (Mount Yotei and Mount Shiribetsu) are clearest; the course is generally closed or under snow in winter.
