About This Course

Yamato Country Club is a scenic 27-hole tournament course set at an elevation of around 600 meters, offering players a refreshing golf experience with cooler temperatures compared to nearby Osaka. The course features three distinct nine-hole layouts named after seasonal flowers—Satsuki, Ashibi, and Sazanka—each with its own unique character and challenges. Located in Tenri, Nara Prefecture, the club was the first in the area to introduce iPad navigation for smoother play. With gentle hills, a bentgrass green, and soft spike-only policy, it provides a comfortable yet engaging environment for golfers seeking both beauty and variety.

Playing Tips

The course is three distinct nine-hole layouts so adjust strategy for each nine rather than using the same game plan all day.

Expect frequent elevation changes so account for uphill and downhill club selection on approaches and tee shots.

The higher elevation can make exposed holes windier, so check conditions and consider taking an extra club into the wind.

Bentgrass greens are generally smooth and can be quick, so prioritize speed control and read subtle breaks carefully.

Soft-spike footwear and steady footing are important on the hilly fairways and uneven lies, so focus on balance for steady swings.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

At about 600 meters elevation the club enjoys noticeably cooler summers than nearby Osaka, with a humid rainy season in June–July, potential typhoon influence in late summer, crisp and stable autumn weather, and cool winters with possible frost or light snow.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–November) are the best times to play for mild temperatures and stable conditions, while summer is cooler than the plains but includes the rainy season and occasional typhoons.
