Playing Tips

This 9‑hole par‑27 short course rewards accuracy over distance, so prioritize precise iron and wedge play rather than trying to hit it far.

The mountain terrain produces noticeable elevation changes—check yardages for uphill and downhill shots and adjust club selection accordingly.

Coastal and exposed holes can be affected by variable sea breezes from Sagami Bay, so factor wind direction and strength into each shot.

Zoysia (high‑type) greens can show variable speed depending on season and maintenance, so assess green pace on the first putt and aim to land approaches below the hole.

Unlimited play during business hours makes the course ideal for focused short‑game practice and repetition.
