About this course

Sun Belgravia Country Club sits in the rolling hills of Nukata, a rural district in eastern Aichi Prefecture, roughly an hour's drive from Nagoya. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the course reflects his signature approach to strategic golf architecture, with emphasis on wide fairways that reward positioning and greens protected by substantial bunkering. The layout takes advantage of the natural terrain common to this part of central Japan, where forested ridges and valleys create elevation changes and framing throughout the round. Nicklaus designed numerous courses across Japan during the country's golf boom of the 1980s and 1990s, adapting his design principles to accommodate the preferences of Japanese golfers while working within often dramatic topography. Sun Belgravia follows this pattern, offering a parkland experience with mature tree lines, water features integrated into several holes, and green complexes that demand careful approach play. The routing moves through varied terrain, with holes playing both along ridgelines and down into lower corridors. The club operates as a members' facility in the traditional Japanese country club model, where golf is often part of a full-day experience that includes extensive clubhouse amenities and dining. Courses in this region typically serve both local membership and visitors from the greater Nagoya metropolitan area. The Nukata setting provides a retreat from urban density, with views extending across the surrounding hills and agricultural valleys that characterize inland Aichi Prefecture.

Getting there

The journey to Sun Belgravia Country Club begins at Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) near Nagoya, gateway to Japan's industrial heartland and the mountainous terrain beyond. A roughly ninety-minute drive northeast carries you from the coastal plain into the forested hills of eastern Aichi Prefecture, where the urban density of Nagoya gradually yields to terraced farmland and wooded ridges. The route threads through the quiet town of Nukata, climbing into elevations where the air cools and the landscape opens to reveal the club's secluded fairways carved into the rolling highlands - a serene counterpoint to the metropolitan energy left behind.
