Playing Tips

Suigetsu Lake Course rewards distance—attack reachable par 5s and longer par 4s since valley crossings and downhill shots can add extra roll.

The long 8th hole on Suigetsu is a gradual uphill so consider taking an extra club to ensure you reach the preferred approach yardage.

On Suga Lake Course's 2nd hole large rock formations frame the fairway, so prioritize accuracy off the tee to avoid blocked angles and recovery shots.

Bentgrass greens are generally true and well maintained, so focus on distance control on approaches and carefully read subtle breaks.

Check wind direction before each hole as open stretches and nearby lake/sea influences can change club selection and ball flight.
