Playing Tips

This Pete Dye 7,004-yard layout is hilly with noticeable elevation changes, so carefully adjust club selection for uphill and downhill approaches.

The course’s island-green short hole requires a precise approach and makes wind direction and strength especially important on the shot into the green.

Accuracy off the tee is rewarded over raw distance because the strategic design often favours well-placed drives and penalizes wayward shots.

Bentgrass greens are reasonably well-contoured and accept precise approaches, so leaving your approach on the correct tier will make putting significantly easier.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Ibaraki in the Kanto region has four distinct seasons with humid, hot summers and occasional afternoon thunderstorms, cool winters with possible frost or light snow, and often breezy conditions on exposed hillsides—spring and autumn are generally the most stable.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) for mild temperatures and blossoms or autumn (October–November) for stable weather and colorful foliage; avoid peak summer heat and possible winter frost.
