Playing Tips

The course sits at 800 meters so account for elevation changes and adjust club selection for uphill and downhill shots accordingly.

Exposed highland tees and fairways can produce stronger winds than nearby lowlands, so always check wind direction and strength before long shots.

Bentgrass greens roll true and can be moderately fast in cool weather, so focus on pace control and carefully read subtle breaks.

At 6,750 yards the course rewards distance but more so precise positioning off the tee to set up favorable second shots on long par 4s and par 5s.

Play strategically rather than just hitting hard—accuracy into landing areas and thoughtful course management will save strokes on this varied layout.

Weather & Seasonal Information

Local Weather Patterns

As an 800 m highland course, expect noticeably cooler temperatures than the lowlands, frequent morning dew or fog, and breezy afternoons with winds that can strengthen on exposed ridges; rainy/typhoon season affects late spring to summer and winters can bring frost or occasional snow.

Best Season to Play

Spring (April–May) and autumn (October–November) offer the best conditions with mild temperatures and clear mountain views, while summer can be cooler than lowlands but brings rain and typhoon risk and winter may have frost or occasional snow.
