What makes Ojiya Country Club tricky

Scoring opportunities are most prevalent on the shorter par 4s if the tee shot finds the fairway, allowing for a short iron approach.

Protecting your par on the long, climbing par 5s is essential for maintaining a good round.

Neglecting to read the grain and slope on the greens can result in frequent three-putts.

Scoring Zone strategy for Ojiya Country Club

Ojiya Country Club rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Take one extra club for uphill approaches to ensure you reach the putting surface. Use a cart to manage the steep terrain and conserve energy for the final stretch of holes.
