Playing Tips

Accuracy off the tee is rewarded on this hilly course with relatively narrow fairways, so favor controlled drives over pure distance.

At about 1,100 m elevation the ball will travel farther, so reduce club selection on long shots and be mindful of downhill/uphill adjustments.

The exposed plateau setting makes wind a frequent factor—always check wind direction and strength from elevated tees and aim or club accordingly.

Greens are bentgrass and well maintained with moderate firmness, so prioritize hitting the proper level and reading subtle breaks rather than attacking only for speed.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Being located around 1,100 m on the Kirigamine plateau, the course has cooler temperatures year‑round, often clear mornings, increasing afternoon breezes and frequent wind exposure on elevated holes, with snow possible in winter.

Best Season to Play

Late spring through early autumn (roughly May–October) is best for pleasant temperatures and clear views, while winter is generally unsuitable due to snow at this altitude.
