The most common error is failing to adjust for the wind coming off the nearby coast, which can significantly alter ball flight.

Misjudging the grain and slope of the putting surfaces can also lead to frequent three-putts.
Scoring Zone strategy for Niihama Country Club
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Niihama Country Club, the goal should be simple: two controlled shots. You don't need a perfect drive — you need a repeatable position that allows you to play your next shot with confidence.
Niihama Country Club rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Take an extra moment to verify the wind direction before every mountain-side shot, as it can vary from the coastal breeze. Practice short uphill chips, as many greens are elevated and require a firm strike to reach the surface. Using a yardage book to identify safe landing zones will help navigate the blind spots created by the terrain.
