Sun Classic Golf Club

Sun Classic Golf Club occupies rolling terrain in Kani, a city in southern Gifu Prefecture situated between Nagoya and the mountainous interior of central Japan. The course was designed by Ishii Shigeru and Taizo Kawata, two architects active in Japan's golf course development boom during the latter decades of the twentieth century. The region's topography provides natural elevation changes that the routing incorporates into the playing experience. The layout moves through forested hillsides characteristic of this part of Gifu, where courses often navigate between stands of pine and deciduous trees. The design reflects conventions common to Japanese golf architecture of its era, including strategic bunkering, undulating greens, and holes that require careful club selection given the terrain. Water features appear on several holes, adding both visual definition and tactical considerations to approach shots. Kani's location makes the course accessible to golfers from the Nagoya metropolitan area while offering a setting removed from urban density. The club operates within the membership structure typical of Japanese golf facilities, where access is generally arranged through members or affiliated booking systems. The course serves both recreational play and periodic regional amateur competitions, fitting the profile of an established regional club in a prefecture known for its concentration of golf courses serving central Japan's golfing population.
