Natural contours and quiet ponds near Seki

Minoseki Country Club lies in the wooded hills outside Seki in central Gifu Prefecture. Opened in November 1975 and now run by Accordia Golf, it is an 18-hole, par-72 course of 6,621 yards laid over about 139 hectares of natural terrain. Moderate ups and downs give the holes shape without wearing players out, several ponds add strategic and mental pressure, and the greens are the real key to scoring.

A course for every level, where the greens decide the day.

Remote-control riding carts with GPS navigation keep play relaxed, and its friendly mix of challenge and forgiveness suits beginners and seasoned golfers alike. Seki has been famous for swordsmithing and cutlery for centuries, and its blade museum and forge demonstrations make a memorable stop, while summer brings traditional cormorant fishing on the Nagara River. The castle town of Gifu and the old merchant streets of Mino are both nearby. The course is about 5 km from Tomika-Seki IC on the Tokai-Kanjo Expressway, an easy drive from Nagoya; Sekiguchi Station on the Nagaragawa Railway is around 4 km away.
