Playing Tips

At 7,083 yards the course plays long, so prioritize distance off the tee while avoiding unnecessary risk.

Fairways are wide and relatively flat, offering forgiving lies that reward steady ball‑striking and smart course management.

The signature 18th features a large pond and a sloping fairway, so play conservatively to leave a comfortable approach rather than attacking the pin blindly.

Wind from the Sea of Japan and surrounding mountains can change direction hole to hole, so check conditions before every long shot and adjust club selection.

Bentgrass greens are generally receptive but can present subtle breaks, so focus on pace and read putts carefully.
