Playing Tips

At 7,221 yards this is a long championship layout, so long hitters can gain an advantage off the tee but distance control into greens is essential.

Fairways are wide and gently undulating, so prioritize tee placement to leave the best angle for approach shots rather than always trying to overpower the hole.

Bentgrass greens are typically true and can be quick when firm, so read subtle breaks carefully and focus on speed control.

The course is set within a century‑old red pine forest, so errant tee shots into the trees often leave difficult recovery lies—favor accuracy on tighter landing zones.

Wind is usually light to moderate but check conditions before each round; on windier days club selection becomes more important on this long course.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Okayama has a relatively mild Seto Inland Sea climate with hot, humid summers, a rainy season in June, occasional typhoons in late summer, and generally mild winters; winds tend to be light to moderate but can pick up on exposed days.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable temperatures and stable conditions, while avoiding the June rainy season and the peak summer heat/typhoon risk.
