Midorigaoka Country Club (A)

Overview: Midorigaoka Country Club is a mature 18-hole, par-72 course in Nagoya's Moriyama ward, close enough to the city to be a practical urban golf destination while still occupying a broad green setting. The course is associated with Osamu Ueda and the current directory A-green record. Historical course data places the full routing at about 6,809 yards. Its appeal is architectural rather than theatrical: fairways follow gentle rises, trees frame the corridors and the approach angles ask players to think about position before they reach the green.

History: Midorigaoka opened on 8 November 1959 as an 18-hole public course designed by Ueda Osamu. The club later moved to a membership model, but the opening purpose explains why the course remains unusually accessible in feel for a mature Nagoya club. The A and B labels refer to the two green arrangements on the same layout, not two separately routed courses. This profile keeps A as the canonical directory identity while leaving the paired B record for separate review.

Did You Know? The opening course was recorded as 18 holes, par 72 and roughly 6,800 yards with two greens. That combination of an early postwar urban course, a Ueda design and a dual-green setup gives Midorigaoka a useful place in Aichi golf history. On clear days, the elevated ground and tree gaps can also open views toward the Nagoya skyline, a detail noted in the course's historical coverage.
