About This Course

Sanuki Country Club is a scenic 18-hole course located atop a cape in Kagawa Prefecture, offering stunning views of the Seto Inland Sea and distant islands like Naruto and Awaji. The front nine features relatively flat holes carved into the hillside, with wide fairways that allow for relaxed play. The back nine presents more elevation changes, including three water crossings and several dogleg holes, adding variety and challenge. Wind can play a significant role here, requiring careful consideration during play. Designed by Iwao Teruyama, this hilly course combines natural beauty with thoughtful layout for an enjoyable round.

Playing Tips

Take advantage of the front nine’s relatively flat, wide fairways by being aggressive off the tee to set up shorter approach shots.

The back nine’s elevation changes, three water crossings and doglegs demand accuracy—favor position over distance and plan each hole ahead of the shot.

Because the course sits on a cape overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, monitor wind direction closely and use a lower ball flight when conditions are gusty.

Bentgrass greens can run quick when dry, so pay attention to slopes and pin positions and aim to leave your putts below the hole.

Adjust club selection for uphill and downhill approaches—elevation can change effective yardage by one to two clubs.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Coastal, relatively mild climate with frequent sea breezes and the potential for strong gusts from the Seto Inland Sea; rainy season (June) and typhoon activity in late summer bring heavier rain and wind, while winters are generally mild but can be blustery.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November) offer the most pleasant temperatures and the clearest views of the Seto Inland Sea; avoid peak typhoon season in late summer for more reliable conditions.
