Playing Tips

The Izuru Course has an American-style layout with generally wider landing areas but strategic bunkering, so be aggressive off the tee when you have a clear line and play conservatively when hazards come into play.

The Koma Course is modeled on a Japanese garden with ponds, stones and pine trees, so prioritize accurate approaches and favor the fat side of greens to avoid water and tight recovery shots.

Both courses use bentgrass greens which run smooth and can become brisk in cooler weather, so take time to read subtle breaks and be cautious with long lag putts.

Mild elevation changes at the foothills affect club selection on many approaches, so check yardages and account for uphill or downhill lies especially on second shots.

Wind can pick up on exposed stretches in the afternoon, altering ball flight and club choice, and on weekends allow extra travel time as traffic to the club can be heavy.

Weather & Seasonal Information
