Course: Dunes Tee Time: 10:15 Players: Kyle, Myungguk, Hyungjun I played golf with these guys a few months ago and they mentioned that they had heard to La Vie est Belle is nice. I told them that tee time are tough to get over there but that I’d try to get us one. I succeeded…

Course: North + West Tee Time: 6:59am Players: Malcolm, Adrian, Kyle We had another early tee time at Han Sung. My understanding is that all bookings were packed but they were able to squeeze us into an early morning tee time. It was actually still dark when we were getting ready to tee off so…

Course: West Tee Time: 11:29 Players: Justin, Joon, Ryan Lakeside is a Samsung owned golf course and country club. There are 3 courses here each with 9 holes…east, west, and south. Like many country clubs, they do have public bookings for excess inventory. Since Lakeside is close to Seoul, membership/initiation fees are expensive (usually over…

Tee Time: 6:59am Players: Haegoo, Eunyoung, Youngjune Han Sung is a decent course that is relatively close to Seoul. There are a few courses closer to Seoul (Castlex, In Seoul, etc.) but those are all pretty much garbage. Han Sung is decent enough so it’s pretty popular. It is a member only course but my…

Course: North + West Tee Time: 12:52 Players: Mark, Jonathan, Ryan This was a fun outing with some ex-pat friends in Korea who mostly run hogwans and teach at the University. We had a great caddie who was a lot of fun so it made the day even better. With a late tee time, we…

Course: West + North Tee Time: 12:24pm Players: June, Byung Sam This was the first time playing this course where I started at west instead of north. It was a nice way to play though but I still think I prefer playing north first. The signature hole is the par 3 hole 5 on the…

Course: North + West Tee Time: 11:48 Players: MJ, YS, JY This is a fun group for golf. We played the same north/west course that I played yesterday so the course was fresh on my mind. Since we had 2 women playing, I was able to see the red tees closer up on each hole…

Course: North + West Tee Time: 11:34 Players: Jae, Youngjune, Sukhwan As a member of Ansung Benest, I have played south + east many times but this was my first time playing north + west. North/West seems to be more popular and it’s tougher to book tee times on this course but I’ve been successful…

Tee Time: 8:22am Players: Gary, Seungjai, Youngjune Last month I played La Vie est Belle at the Old course which was a great course with a nice hanok style clubhouse. This time I wanted to check out the Dunes course which has it’s own modern architecture clubhouse. There are a few holes that brush up…

Tee Time: 8:21am Players: Dan, Ben, Jake, Dan Green Fee: $150 Torrey Pines is definitely a bucket list type of course even though it’s technically a simple muni course. The folks in San Diego are so lucky to have the opportunity to play Torrey Pines as their local course! My friend set up this round…
