Playing Tips

On the Kajikawa Course prioritize accuracy and placement off the tee to navigate classic British-style bunkering and tree-lined fairways.

The Iide Course features more American-modern, risk-reward holes, so be selective about when to go for distance versus laying up.

Bentgrass greens are well maintained but can be firm and quick in warm weather, so focus on precise distance control and careful reads.

Tree-lined, forested routing makes accuracy off the tee important—missing fairways often leaves blocked or forced shots.

The club enforces soft-spike footwear only, so bring appropriate shoes to avoid any issues at the gate.
