Playing Tips

The hilly routing means elevation changes are common, so club up for uphill shots and club down for downhill approaches to avoid misjudged distances.

At 7,403 yards with relatively narrow fairways, prioritize accuracy off the tee rather than pure distance to keep yourself in scoring position.

Bentgrass greens are moderately receptive but can be subtly undulating, so carefully read the breaks and control approach speed to avoid three-putts.

Wind from the surrounding mountains can shift quickly during the round, especially on exposed holes, so check wind direction at each tee and adjust club choice accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Gunma is inland with hot, humid summers and a rainy season in early summer; autumn brings stable clear weather, while winters are cold with occasional mountain snow and rapidly changing winds around the peaks.

Best Season to Play

Spring for cherry blossoms and mild temperatures, and autumn for clear skies and comfortable play when mountain views are at their best.
