## About the course

Tucked into the wooded hills of Kukuri in Kani, southern Gifu, Kogaya Cherry Creek Country Club opened on 25 May 1993 to a design by Pete Dye and his son Perry Dye. The 18-hole, par-72 layout stretches to 6,631 yards and wears the Dye signatures well: broad bunkers, railroad-tie bunkering, sculpted mounds and large, rolling bentgrass greens. Now operated by Accordia Golf (it was known as Kogaya OGM Cherry Creek until 2019), it is a course built for hospitality — keep the ball on the fairway and real trouble is rare, so it suits mixed groups and less experienced players as well as low handicappers.

### Dye drama on the eye, _but a gentle welcome on the scorecard._

GPS carts, a 200-yard practice range with short-game areas, rental clubs and a bath make it an easy day out. The course is around 6 km from Kani-Mitake IC on the Tokai-Kanjo Expressway and roughly half an hour from JR Tajimi Station, putting it within comfortable reach of Nagoya. Tajimi is famous for its Mino-ware pottery, and the castle town of Inuyama and the cormorant fishing on the Kiso and Nagara rivers are close enough to turn the round into a weekend in the heart of Japan.
