Playing Tips

At nearly 6,919 yards the course plays long so manage tee shots and club selection carefully to avoid long approaches into par 4s and par 5s.

Fairways are described as wide and forgiving, so favor conservative tee targets toward the center rather than trying to cut corners.

Being a coastal Chugoku course, wind and sea breezes can affect ball flight—check direction on each hole and add or subtract clubs accordingly.

With two green types on site, bermudagrass tends to be firmer and faster in summer while bentgrass is truer in cooler months, so adjust putt speed and reads by season.

Aim to leave approach shots below the hole when possible to give yourself more makeable uphill putts on potentially firm surfaces.
