Playing Tips

Accuracy off the tee is rewarded because fairways are relatively narrow despite the course's overall length.

Twelve holes overlook the Ariake Sea and exposed layouts mean wind can change club selection dramatically, so check wind direction at every tee.

Onwind holes benefit from a lower ball flight to reduce drift, while downwind holes can tempt you into aggressive lines—pick conservative targets when the wind is gusty.

Well-maintained bentgrass greens run true, so prioritize pace control and try to leave approach shots below the hole for easier uphill putts.

Soft-spike shoes are required, and allow extra time to account for variable coastal winds and the popular scenic views toward Unzen Fugendake.
