About this course
The South Course at Nagashima Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Inabe, located in northern Mie Prefecture near the border with Gifu. Designed by Hideyo Sugimoto, a prominent Japanese golf architect active in the post-war era, the course reflects the period's approach to integrating golf design with Japan's natural topography. Sugimoto worked on numerous courses across Japan during the country's golf development boom, emphasizing strategic variety and playability within the landscape constraints typical of Japanese sites. The routing takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and natural contours, characteristics common to courses in this region of central Honshu. The layout moves through varied terrain that includes both open and wooded sections, with holes shaped by the existing landforms rather than extensive earthmoving. Water features and bunkering provide definition and strategic interest throughout the round. Nagashima Country Club operates as a members' club serving the broader Nagoya metropolitan area, which lies to the south. The facility includes multiple courses, with the South Course representing one component of the larger golf complex. The club caters to a regional membership base and reflects the traditional Japanese country club model that developed during the latter half of the twentieth century. The course offers a playing experience shaped by its inland setting and the design principles of its era, providing members with a layout that balances challenge with the natural character of the Mie Prefecture landscape.
