Playing Tips

At 7,197 yards and with hilly terrain, the course rewards length but demands accuracy off the tee so prioritize controlled drives over heroic risk-taking.

The large single greens have subtle undulations, so choose clubs conservatively into the greens and spend extra time reading slopes to avoid three-putts.

Distinctive bunkers are strategically placed around many approaches, so focus on precise distance control rather than forcing shots over hazards.

Prevailing seasonal winds and exposed ridge holes can significantly affect club selection, so check wind direction and strength from each tee before committing to a shot.

Fairway driving is allowed year-round and carts can access fairways, which makes strategic layups and course management on long holes a practical option.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Chiba has hot, humid summers with a rainy season in June–July, mild winters with occasional cold snaps, and seasonal breezes plus an elevated risk of typhoons in late summer–early autumn that can bring heavy rain and strong wind.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (late September–November) for mild temperatures and more stable conditions, avoiding the June–July rainy season and peak typhoon periods.
