Tee Time: 11:56am Players: Jake, Dave, Jy Winter golf in Korea! Some golf courses close for the winter but many are still open. Golf is obviously not as popular in Korea in the winter since it’s cold, the ground is frozen, snow on the ground, etc. Overall golf in the winter is simply not a…

Players: Kate, Maria, Youngjune Tee Time: 12:39pm My last round of the year! It’s starting to get cold in Korea but it was actually fairly sunny and warm today. But with the weather forecast in the 20s next week and possible snow, I’m glad I didn’t book anything after this week. My playing partners had…

Tee Time: 13:24 Players: Jena, Jy, etc. Hanul is a great course with western grass. It has the same bent grass that is used for the greens so the fairways are very soft. I played this course 2 years ago and was not able to get a tee time until this week. We were able…

Tee Time: 13:38 Players: Iris, etc. Sky72 has 4 golf courses. The best are Hanul and Ocean because both have western grass that doesn’t turn yellow. Both courses also do not have lights so there is much less use than Lake and Classic. Ocean is a nice course with some decent views. I played here…

Tee Time: 12:03pm Players: Youngsin, Jy Sagewood is still my favorite public country club in Korea. The clubhouse is so nice and modern and open and the course itself is well maintained. Because of the caddie shortage in Korea, Sagewood offers the ability to play with no caddie and I take them up on this…

Tee Time: 13:00 Players: Hee Jung, Kang Hyun, Jy It’s been awhile since I played Sunning Point and the course just seemed difficult. The fairways were narrow with lots of hazard and OBs on either side (fairly typical for Korea I guess). The caddie was pretty bad. She just seemed like she didn’t want to…

Tee Time: 7:33am Players: Jonathan, Mark, Q This was Jonathan’s farewell round in Korea since he will be moving to Australia in a couple of months for his job with AWS (Amazon Web Services). I hadn’t played with Mark in about a year but he has been playing a lot of screen golf. Mark always…

Tee Time: 12:30pm Players: June, Woonchul, Wansoo I played at the Players for a corporate golf outing sponsored by Dell Technologies Korea. Dell does a lot of work in the tech area in Korea in terms of servers, storage, networking hardware, etc. so they have many partner companies as well as clients. As one of…

Tee Time: 7:18am Players: Harry, Jaesub, MT Bear’s Best is a pretty nice public country club located in the Cheongna area of Incheon. It was only a 45 min drive from jamsil so the drive was nice. Of course I left at around 5:15am so there was no traffic. There are 27 holes including USA,…

Tee Time: 7:28am Players: Hyungoo, Yonggyun, Eunyoung Shilla is a nice course that is not too far away from Seoul so it’s convenient. The course itself is fairly typical for a Korean course with a nice layout, decent greens, and fun hazards to maneuver. One of our players (Hyungoo) was playing really well. He was…
