Playing Tips

The long, hilly layout rewards accurate tee shots—favor position over raw distance to avoid the many bunkers and wasteland areas.

Each hole features a single large Bentgrass green that can be quick and subtly undulating, so focus on precise approach distances and careful reads.

Numerous bunkers and water hazards are placed strategically around landing zones and approaches, so conservative shot placement off the tee often yields better scores.

Wind off the nearby Kanmon Strait can be significant and change during the round, so always check wind direction and factor it into club selection.

Soft spikes are required at this club, so bring appropriate footwear and expect firm, well-maintained playing surfaces.
