Nukata Golf Club, located in Aichi Prefecture, is a 36-hole facility comprising the West Course and the East Course. Both layouts are 18-hole, par-72 designs that offer distinct playing experiences through different tee configurations and terrain characteristics. The West Course features wide fairways and minimal out-of-bounds areas, allowing for a relaxed round of golf. It utilizes two separate greens, designated A and B, which are both Bentgrass surfaces. The course layout includes a mix of flat holes and those with subtle elevation changes, with yardages ranging from 5,030 yards from the back tees to 6,703 yards from the member tees. The West Course is characterized by its forgiving nature, though it presents specific strategic challenges. The 6th hole is noted as the most difficult on the front nine, requiring a long approach shot. The 17th hole, a 186-yard uphill par-3, is a signature hole that requires precise club selection to navigate the slope between the two greens. Several holes, including the 12th and 18th, feature downhill approaches that demand careful distance control. The course includes water hazards on holes such as the 3rd and 11th, with the latter being a demanding downhill par-3 over a pond. In contrast, the East Course is more demanding, with out-of-bounds areas present on more holes and a layout that requires greater accuracy and strategic shot-making. The terrain is more varied, featuring significant elevation changes and tricky undulations. The 5th hole is identified as the most difficult on the course, a 397-yard par-4 that requires both distance and a high-trajectory approach to a challenging green. The 14th hole is a long, uphill par-5 that tests driving distance, while the 15th and 16th holes are downhill par-4s that require precise distance management to avoid hazards. The East Course yardages range from 4,582 yards from the ladies' tees to 6,602 yards from the back tees. The layout includes several long par-5s, such as the 2nd, 7th, 10th, and 14th, which require powerful driving. The short holes, including the 3rd, 12th, and 17th, are often downhill or uphill shots that test approach accuracy. The course features numerous bunkers and water hazards, particularly on the front nine, where the 1st hole plays to a green guarded by water on the right. Nukata Golf Club also offers extensive practice facilities, including a driving range with 24 bays across two floors, a bunker and approach practice area, and a putting green. The club hosts junior golf tournaments, such as the Fujiken Yonex Junior Golf Tournament, indicating its role in developing young talent. The facility is managed by Kabushiki Kaisha Nikkan Nukata Kogyo Club and is situated in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture.
