Fuji Country Kani Club Mino Golf Course ☆ Follow

The Fuji Country Kani Club Mino Golf Course is located in Kani City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan, set within a 1,220,000-square-meter property in the Kuguri area. Operated by Kabushiki Kaisha Kani Golf Club, the facility opened on November 5, 1975, and was designed under the supervision of Hirochika Tomizawa and Kanemasa Kakei. The course comprises three distinct nine-hole loops—West, Middle, and East—offering a combined 27 holes at par 108 and a total yardage of 9,583 yards. The layout is characterized by wide, seemingly flat fairways that demand precise shot-making. Bunkers are scattered throughout the fairways, making club selection a critical factor in scoring. The West Course features par-4 first holes, a demanding par-5 fourth at 552 yards from the back tees, and a short par-3 eighth at 142 yards from the black tees. The Middle Course presents a long par-5 first at 517 yards and a par-3 fifth of 166 yards, while the East Course includes a par-5 seventh at 501 yards and a par-5 ninth at 516 yards from the back markers. Each nine-hole loop carries its own course rating, with men's ratings ranging from 68.2 to 70.6 depending on the tee boxes and grass type. Play is available on both Bentgrass and Korai grass surfaces, with yardages varying across back, regular, front, and ladies tees. The course is described as a challenging stage for players with vigorous competitive spirit, where the deceptive flatness of the terrain rewards accuracy over power. Recommended approach holes and driving holes are identified for each nine, guiding players toward strategic play.
