Tee Time: 6:59am Players: Haegoo, Eunyoung, Youngjune Han Sung is a decent course that is relatively close to Seoul.

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…
