Playing Tips

The hilly, strategic layout rewards accurate tee shots and course management, so favor placement over pure distance on many holes.

The famous 8th hole with a floating island green demands a precise, well-carried approach—aim for the center of the green to avoid the hazard.

Expect significant elevation changes; take an extra club for uphill approaches and consider one less club for downhill shots.

Greens are bentgrass and can be moderately quick with subtle breaks, so read putts carefully and avoid overly aggressive lines.

Wind can pick up on exposed ridges and east-facing holes, so always check local conditions and adjust club selection accordingly.

Best Season to Play

Best enjoyed from late spring to early autumn (roughly May–October) when fairways are drier and the clubhouse hot spring is available; the course is often closed or limited in winter due to heavy snow.
