Players: Suk Hwan, Mahn Tee Time: 12:07pm As the name suggests, Island Resort is on an island located off the west coast of Korea. It’s south of Incheon and west of Hwaseong/Dongtan so southwest of Seoul. It’s not too far but there is a bit of local driving in the end so it took about…

Players: Min Jung, Young Sun, Jy Tee Time: 8:38am Fortune Hills is a nice course that is located north of Seoul in the city of Pocheon. This area is close to the border with North Korea. Traffic to/from Seoul is pretty good so the golf courses in this area tend to be very popular with…

Course: Dunes Tee Time: 10:08 Players: MJ, YS, JY My last round of the year! It was cold…not freezing cold but probably in the high 30s so very cold. Ground was mostly frozen so tees were tough to get into the ground. I used some tees that go on the ground rather than in the…

Course: Dunes Tee Time: 10:43 Players: Eunyoung, Gary, Seungjai This was the first time playing this course for my playing partners so they were excited to try it out. Dunes is a nice course and it wasn’t quite as cold as the week before but it was still cold. The course itself is not too…

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…
