Playing Tips

The course plays long at 7,080 yards so prioritize accuracy and course management over trying to overpower every hole.

Many holes use the natural hilly terrain with notable elevation changes, so adjust club selection for uphill and downhill shots.

The famous par-3 7th features a fish-shaped island green—aim for the center of the putting surface and avoid aggressive pin-hunting unless your iron shots are precise.

Bentgrass greens are prepared to tournament standards and can be fast with subtle breaks, so read putts early and focus on pace control.

Wind from the surrounding plains can affect approach shots, especially in the afternoon, so monitor conditions and play conservatively when it picks up.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The Toki (Gifu) area has hot, humid summers with a June rainy season and frequent afternoon thunderstorms, mild and stable spring and autumn conditions ideal for golf, and cool, relatively dry winters; winds from the plains can pick up in the afternoon and influence club selection.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–May) and autumn (October–November) offer the most comfortable and stable conditions for golf while avoiding the rainy season and hot, humid summer.
