Introduction
In the shadows of Mt. Fuji, Japan is a course of short distances and tricky approaches. Knowing where to best place your ball as well as knowledge of heavy rough patches is important for mastering this course. In match play, the course offers an advantage for distance golfers, especially Power Golfer, with more on in two and on in one eagle putt opportunities. The course features conifer trees, with thick bodies.
