The Course

The course is set in highland terrain with a layout that reflects the more dramatic topography of this part of Nara Prefecture. Elevation changes are more significant than at the flatter courses nearer the city, and the forest setting creates enclosed, clearly defined holes throughout. The greens are well-maintained and the overall conditioning is solid.
