How Onjuku should actually be played

What makes Onjuku tricky

Who will enjoy Onjuku

Where most golfers lose shots at Onjuku
The most common error is underestimating the effect of the sea breeze on ball flight and distance. Golfers often find trouble by attacking pins tucked behind deep bunkers instead of aiming for the center of the green. Overshooting the green can lead to difficult recovery shots from downhill lies or dense rough.
Scoring Zone strategy for Onjuku
On a typical 400-yard par 4 at Onjuku, 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.
Onjuku rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Check the wind direction at the clubhouse before starting, as it dictates the playing length of several holes. Ensure your short game is sharp, as the large greens require precise lag putting. Use a yardage book or GPS to confirm distances to hazards that may be obscured by elevation changes.
