Playing Tips

Tight tree-lined fairways reward accuracy over pure distance, so consider using a long iron or hybrid off the tee rather than always pulling driver.

Bentgrass greens are generally receptive but can play firm and quick in dry or cool conditions, so dial in your approach distances and pace your putting.

Wind from the Mount Fuji area can be changeable—mornings tend to be calmer and afternoons can produce crosswinds or gusts that affect club selection.

The course is relatively short overall, so play for position and smart layups rather than trying to overpower holes to keep scores down.

No footwear restrictions mean you can choose comfortable shoes, but opt for stable, grippy footwear on wet or dewy mornings.
