Playing Tips

The hilly, strategic layout rewards precise club selection—always account for elevation changes because many approaches play noticeably uphill or downhill.

At 7,077 yards the course is long, so long hitters can gain an advantage but accuracy is important since some holes tighten into the landing areas.

Bentgrass greens are subtly contoured, so prioritize speed control and read the breaks carefully, especially on sloped or uphill putts.

The course can be exposed to winds from the Osaka Plain on clear days, so factor crosswinds and changing breeze into tee and approach shots.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

The course sits in the Kansai region where summers are hot and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms and occasional typhoons in late summer/early autumn, springs are mild with generally good visibility, and winters are relatively cool and dry though mornings near the mountains can be dewy or foggy.

Best Season to Play

Spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November) are the best times to play for comfortable temperatures and clear visibility that maximize the course’s panoramic views; avoid the summer heat and peak typhoon season.
