Playing Tips

The front nine is hillier and tree-lined so favor accuracy off the tee rather than raw distance to avoid trouble in the rough and woods.

The back nine is noticeably flat but demands precise approach shots because the bentgrass greens are subtle and can be undulating around the holes.

The signature 1st hole gives wide views of Kumamoto city but requires a careful, well-placed tee shot to set up a manageable approach.

Watch the 16th and other strategically designed holes where tee placement dictates the best angle into the green, so plan your layups and club selection carefully.
