Playing Tips

The course is short but hilly, so prioritize accurate iron play and course management over trying to hit long drives.

At 750 meters elevation shots often carry a bit farther than at sea level, so consider using one less club on longer shots, especially downhill.

Greens are bentgrass with gentle undulations, so focus on distance control and reading subtle breaks to avoid unnecessary three-putts.

Weather can change quickly in Unzen National Park, so bring a lightweight jacket and be ready for fog, sudden rain, or gusty winds that will affect club selection.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

Located at about 750 m in a national-park setting, expect a mountain climate with cool summers, frequent morning fog or low cloud, sudden showers, and occasional gusty ridge winds; winters can be chilly with possible light snow.

Best Season to Play

Summer offers the most comfortable conditions with cool temperatures, while late spring and early autumn are also excellent for pleasant weather and clear views.
