Playing Tips

Many middle holes are longer than average so prioritize position off the tee to leave comfortable approach distances rather than always trying to overpower the hole.

The large bentgrass greens feature noticeable undulation, so aim for the center of the green and try to leave uphill or level putts whenever possible.

Rolling, hilly terrain means several shots come from uneven lies or elevated tees, so take extra care with club selection and ball position on approach shots.

Holes facing the Chikugo plain can be exposed to wind, so check wind direction and strength before choosing clubs, especially on the longer holes.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Fukuoka has a humid subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and a rainy season (tsuyu) in early summer; late summer can bring typhoons with heavy rain and wind, while winters are generally mild and spring and autumn feature clearer, more stable weather.

Best Season to Play

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most pleasant conditions with milder temperatures, lower rainfall, and the best visibility for views of the surrounding mountains and plains.
