Playing Tips

Accuracy off the tee is rewarded because fairways are framed by tall trees and upright bunkers that heavily penalize errant drives.

Greens are Zoysia and can play firmer and slower with subtle breaks, so focus on distance control and careful reads on approach shots.

Coastal influences from the nearby Shimanto River and Kuroshio current mean shifting sea breezes—expect variable crosswinds and adjust club selection on exposed or elevated holes.

The gently rolling, hilly layout favors position play over pure distance; play conservatively into tight landing areas to avoid blocked approach angles and bunker trouble.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Shimanto area has a humid subtropical climate with hot, wet summers (including a June–July rainy season and typhoon risk in late summer), mild winters, and frequent sea breezes that can produce variable afternoon or exposed-hole winds.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–May) and autumn (September–November) are the best times to play, with milder temperatures, lower rainfall, and more stable winds; summer brings heavy rain and typhoon risk.
