Motomiya Park Country Club ☆ Follow

Motomiya Park Country Club is a 18-hole, 62-par short course located in Takakawa, Higashi-ku, Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. Situated just 7 kilometers from the Tomei Expressway Toyokawa Interchange, the facility is designed as a driver-usable short course, offering a layout that blends the accessibility of a par-3 course with the strategic demands of a full-length round. The course is divided into an Out and In nine, with yardages varying by tee box. The regular white tees measure 1,190 yards for the Out nine and 1,306 yards for the In nine, totaling 2,496 yards for the full 18 holes. Red forward tees provide a shorter alternative, with the Out nine measuring 1,103 yards and the In nine 1,201 yards. The layout is characterized by its water hazards and narrow landing areas, which serve as the primary challenge for golfers. The Out nine begins with a series of short par-3 holes over water, including the 1st at 120 yards and the 2nd at 122 yards. The 6th hole is the only par-4 on the front nine, measuring 236 yards from the regular tees, while the 9th presents a 302-yard dogleg-right challenge. The In nine introduces more significant length and risk, particularly at the 10th hole, which features the course’s largest pond at 135 yards. The 11th hole extends to 170 yards, flanked by narrow rough and out-of-bounds areas, while the 12th offers a 272-yard par-4 that requires careful club selection to avoid the surrounding mountains. Key characteristics of the course include its emphasis on control and distance management over raw power. Holes such as the 5th (59 yards) and 8th (54 yards) are short par-3s that demand precise distance control, while the 14th hole (251 yards) requires a fade to avoid a pond that extends from the 10th. The 16th hole features a two-tiered green and an uphill approach, adding complexity to the scoring. The course also includes a practice range and a grand golf facility, catering to players of all skill levels from beginners to veterans. Regular competitive events and open tournaments are held throughout the year, with specific dates and details announced by the club.
