The Signature Hole
Quietly intense, within a grand landscape.
The boundary between nature and self gradually begins to dissolve.
Set on the rolling foothills spreading out beneath Mount Kōō, this is a graceful and indulgent moment spent facing nature in stillness.
The pin flag fluttering below mirrors the subtle movements of the heart, delivering a sense of pleasant tension and a quietly burning passion.
As you settle into your address, the surrounding sounds gently fade away, and an unparalleled moment of harmony with nature arrives.

- Overview
-
A short downhill middle hole. Watch out for the bunkers surrounding the green and make an accurate shot to secure the green.
Plan & Play
A short downhill par-4. The green is surrounded by bunkers, making accuracy essential when aiming for a green in regulation. Precisely because this is a short par-4, the tee shot does not necessarily require a driver—choosing a fairway wood or utility to secure an ideal position is also a sound strategic option.
The green features more breaking lines than it appears at first glance, and distance control on the first putt has a direct impact on your score, so careful attention is required.
Tips
On the tee shot, aim for the fairway with enough distance to fully carry the cliff on the left. Be mindful that finding the bunker on the right may prevent a clear approach to the green on your second shot.
The green is elevated and surrounded by seven bunkers, so the approach shot should account for the uphill lie while prioritizing a sure green in regulation.
Mounds on the back left and right of the green are particularly influential, making approaches from beyond the green difficult. Aim to play safely from the front.
