About This Course

Opened in 1973 and designed by Touichirou Toda, the club features two distinct courses: the Shirakaba Course, known for its large greens and history as a venue for the 1984 Japan Women’s Professional Golf Championship, and the Karamatsu Course, famous for its beautiful views and spring cherry blossoms. The course offers a flat layout with bentgrass greens, a refreshing climate in summer, and a clubhouse restaurant serving local specialties.

Playing Tips

The Shirakaba Course has very large greens so prioritize hitting the correct section on approach shots to avoid long, tricky putts.

Bentgrass greens can run quickly in summer, so focus on speed control and read subtle breaks carefully.

Many holes traverse rolling, hilly terrain so adjust club selection for uphill and downhill shots rather than relying solely on yardage.

Tree-lined fairways reward accuracy off the tee — favor controlled tee shots to keep the ball in play rather than aiming for maximum distance.

Wind can pick up on exposed or elevated holes, so check flag direction and be prepared to add or subtract clubs accordingly.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Summers are generally cool and pleasant with crisp mornings, while wind can be variable on elevated tees; winters are cold with snowfall common in the region.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (April–October) — spring offers cherry blossoms on the Karamatsu Course and summer provides a cool, comfortable playing climate, while early autumn brings stable weather and pleasant temperatures.
