Course Guide

HOLE 1PAR 4

A full tee shot down the center of the fairway is the ideal play. The approach is a long, gently uphill shot, requiring precision from the undulating fairway.

HOLE 2PAR 4

A cedar tree 300 yards to the right serves as a useful landmark. Playing from the left side is the preferred strategy, but a large bunker awaits on the right. Strategically positioned hazards blend seamlessly into the beautiful landscape, making this a challenging and thought-provoking hole.

HOLE 3PAR 3

A downhill hole framed by a pond and bunkers. The wind can be difficult to read from the tee, while the two-tiered green adds another layer of difficulty. A deceptively challenging hole that demands careful club selection and execution.

HOLE 4PAR 5

A spectacular layout offering sweeping views of the Southern Alps, Mount Ontake, and the mountains of Ena. The ideal line is to favor the left side while avoiding the central bunker, but hazards around the green and its considerable depth make the approach particularly demanding.

HOLE 5PAR 4

A downhill hole played toward the clubhouse. The ideal line from the tee is slightly right of center. A precise approach that combines both distance control and accuracy is the key to scoring well.

HOLE 6PAR 3

A signature hole featuring a striking pond stretching out below. A series of pressure-filled shots awaits, although the left side offers a relatively safe route. A memorable layout that combines breathtaking beauty with an exhilarating sense of tension.

HOLE 7PAR 5

A downhill par 5 with a left dogleg. From a favorable position, reaching the green in two is within reach, but the hole demands careful strategy. The severely sloping green presents varying challenges depending on the pin position.

HOLE 8PAR 4

A long and demanding hole. The ideal line is to play to the left of the bunker on the right, with accuracy being essential on the second shot. With little room behind the green, the safest strategy is to approach from the front.

HOLE 9PAR 4

The final hole of the front nine features a striking elevated green surrounded by a pond and bunkers. The preferred strategy is to approach from the right side, although an aggressive play can be rewarding depending on the tee shot.

HOLE 10PAR 4

The opening hole of the back nine begins with a dramatic downhill tee shot. Positioning off the tee is crucial, followed by an approach that avoids the pond and careful play to the two-tiered green.

HOLE 11PAR 3

A picturesque par 3 framed by a 200-year-old cedar tree and the surrounding mountain landscape. The striking contrast with the backdrop can make judging the distance difficult, making precise club selection the key to success.

HOLE 12PAR 4

One of the most demanding holes on the back nine, its considerable length puts players to the test. Precision is required from the tee through the second shot, leaving little room for error all the way to the green.

HOLE 13PAR 3

A beautiful hole surrounded by natural woodland. In addition to the pressure of playing over the pond, the undulating green adds considerably to the challenge. If you must miss the green, the right side is the safer option, as saving par from the left or from behind the green is far from easy.

HOLE 14PAR 4

A layout that demands control off the tee and a precise second shot. Trees lining both sides, along with strategically placed sand and grass bunkers, are the key challenges to overcome.

HOLE 15PAR 5

A challenging layout where long hitters may have a chance to reach the green in two. Deep greenside bunkers lie in wait, testing the accuracy of long shots. The green features a gentle two-tiered slope from left to right.

HOLE 16PAR 4

A gently uphill hole with a left dogleg. Tee-shot positioning is crucial, as missing to either side makes the hole significantly more difficult. An inaccurate approach can leave a challenging recovery around the green.

HOLE 17PAR 4

A pivotal hole that can determine the outcome late in the round. The key off the tee is to avoid the cedar tree in the center. Bunkers around the green and a pond behind it await, testing both the player’s skill and nerve.

HOLE 18PAR 5

A dramatic finishing hole where a creek crosses the fairway. Thoughtful club selection and strategic planning are essential. If two well-executed long shots can be delivered, an alternative route from the left side opens up, offering an exciting opportunity to attack the hole.
