Jokoji Country Club (A)

Overview: Jokoji Country Club is a public 18-hole course in Seto, within the forested hills of Aichi Kogen Quasi-National Park. The current official guide lists the A-green routing at 6,225 yards and par 71. Although the property is generally flat, the course is designed around precision: fairways are separated by natural woodland, and the approach into the greens rewards a controlled line rather than a loose distance-first strategy. The scorecard mixes reachable par fives with demanding par fours, while the short par threes and the out-of-bounds risk documented on current hole information make concentration important throughout the round.

History: Jokoji opened in 1980 and is credited to Japan Paving Company, identified in current course information as Nippon Hodo. Its present identity combines an established hill-course setting with a contemporary public-play operation that offers regular visitor reservations and evening or night-play options. The club's course guide also keeps the A and B green totals separate. That is a useful historical and practical detail: the current course is one 18-hole routing whose playing character can change with the active green, not two separate courses.

Did You Know? The A and B configurations differ by 363 yards from the back tees: the official guide lists 6,225 yards for A and 5,862 for B. That is a large change over one routing, turning the green configuration into a strategic choice rather than a cosmetic label.
