Aoi Country Club (Ieyasu)

Overview: Aoi Country Club is a hill course in Kota, Aichi, built around a distinctive choice of putting routes. This profile follows the Ieyasu route, which current course information lists at 6,656 yards and par 72. The fairways use the site's rolling ground, and the approach strategy is shaped by the green route selected for the day. That gives the course a more changeable character than its yardage alone suggests: players must consider not only where to drive and how far to hit the approach, but also which side of the fairway leaves the best angle to the active green.

History: Aoi opened in 1963 and is associated with architect Hidetoshi Kobayashi. The club's current official presentation retains the Ieyasu and Takechiyo names, while its course material explains that the two routes belong to one 18-hole facility. That distinction matters for the directory: it preserves the course's unusual design story without presenting the alternate green configuration as a separate 18-hole course. Aoi's visitor-facing booking presence also makes it a practical destination for golfers exploring the central Aichi region.

Did You Know? Aoi is known for a layout that can feel like 36 holes even though it is one 18-hole course: fairways divide toward separate Ieyasu and Takechiyo greens. The current GDO feature describes this as the defining idea of the facility. The Ieyasu routing is therefore more than a label; it identifies the green configuration behind the 6,656-yard profile.
