Playing Tips

The course is hilly with multiple valley crossings, so prioritize accurate tee shots and position over pure distance to leave easier approaches.

The long 600-yard hole is a true risk–reward test—consider a conservative layup to a comfortable second-shot zone unless conditions clearly favor going for more.

Exposed holes near the coast can be affected by strong and shifting Pacific breezes, so factor wind into club selection and trajectory.

Greens comprise both Zoysia and Bentgrass surfaces, so expect varying speeds and grain; take extra time to read putts and favor conservative lines on slower turf.

Best Season to Play

Late spring (April–June) and autumn (October–November) offer the most comfortable temperatures and stable course conditions; avoid the peak summer heat and the typhoon-prone late August–September period.
