About This Course

Sugadaira Green Golf is Japan’s highest-altitude golf course, set in a scenic highland area. This hilly 18-hole course features wide fairways averaging 65 meters, making it approachable for players. The layout offers clear sightlines with few blind shots from tee to green, allowing golfers to aim confidently. The course has a single large bentgrass green on each hole, providing plenty of putting space. While reaching the green is manageable, precision with iron shots is recommended to secure solid two-putts and maintain a good score. Located in Nagano Prefecture, it offers a pleasant and challenging golfing experience amid beautiful natural surroundings.

Playing Tips

Because the course sits at high elevation, the ball will carry farther than at sea level so reduce club selection on long shots.

Fairways are relatively wide, so prioritize positioning and avoiding slopes rather than trying to overpower holes off the tee.

Large single bentgrass greens reward approach accuracy—aim for the correct tier and short-side to avoid long putts and potential three-putts.

Be ready for variable mountain winds and cooler temperatures that can change club choice through the round.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Being a high-altitude Nagano course, expect cooler temperatures than the lowlands, strong diurnal swings, changeable mountain breezes and occasional summer afternoon storms, with snow in winter.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (late May/June to October) is ideal for cool, comfortable rounds and autumn colors, while winter is unsuitable due to snow.
