Playing Tips

The course's hilly, strategic layout rewards accurate tee shots and smart course management more than raw distance.

The signature par-3 18th hole is a demanding finishing hole under pressure, so prioritise distance control and conservative club choice.

Greens are a mix of bentgrass and zoysia, so expect varying speeds across the course and test putt pace before committing to lines.

Elevation changes frequently affect approach shots, so adjust club selection for uphill and downhill lies.

Being near Tokyo with exposed ridge holes, wind can be tricky—factor wind direction and strength into every tee and approach shot.
