Tee Time: 13:07 Players: Jy, Soohyun, Jonghyun Bear Creek is a popular public golf course with 2 locations in Pocheon and Chuncheon. I played Pocheon once last year so this was my second time playing this course. I have never played their chuncheon course but have heard that the chuncheon course is even nicer! There…

9/17/2023 – Sagewood (Dream + Vision)
Tee Time: 8:42am Players: Dave, Minchul This was another great round at Sagewood. Since we play no caddie and the course is usually pretty empty, it was a good opportunity for me to experiment a little bit with my driver and try a few things out there on the course. It was a lot of…
9/16/2023 – Hwasan
Tee Time: 6:36am Players: Scott, James, Youngjune This was an early tee time. Since Koreans like to meet up for breakfast in the clubhouse, we met up at 5:45am which meant that I had to get there by 5:30am so I had to leave my house at 4:30am so I had to get up at…
9/10/2023 – Ansung Benest (West + North)
Tee Time: 8:26am Players: Kyle, Lionel, Myunsoo This is a fun group of friends for golf. We played the West and North courses which are always a lot of fun. Lionel is an excellent golfer and it showed by his 2 birdies on the first 2 par 3s! I played ok overall but I was…
9/9/2023 – La vie est belle (Dunes Course)
Tee Time: 13:11 Players: Jy, Jena, Sunmi This was a fun round but it was hot and it was sunny! Dunes course does not have a lot of trees because it’s a links style course similar to Scotland’s Old Course, etc. It’s a fun course and I played well overall though so that was good….
8/27/2023 – Jisan CC
Tee Time: 6:02am Players: Philip, James, Danny I had one of the best rounds of my life! My driver was pretty solid and going straight, irons and short game were decent. I didn’t birdie any holes though and I didn’t par as many as I wanted because my putting wasn’t so great but I did…
8/20/2023 – Asiana (East Course)
Tee Time: 6:15am Players: June, Eric, Woochul Although Asiana is a tough course, I like the course and have fun playing here. I especially like the more difficult East Course mainly for the hole where we ride the funicular type thing up from hole 7 to hole 8 (iirc). There was talk about getting rid…
8/19/2023 – Gapyeong Benest (Maple + Pine)
Tee Time: 7:21 Players: Youngjune, Kate, Maria Gapyeong Benest is one of the Samsung owned golf courses in Korea within the same “Benest” family of Ansung Benest (where I currently have membership), Dongrae Benest, etc. Anyang, Glen Ross, and Lakeside are also Samsung owned but do not carry the “Benest” name. The course is located…
8/15/2023 – Sagewood (Dream + Vision)
Tee Time: 8:06 Players: Jy Sagewood Hongcheon is probably my favorite public course in Korea. It’s expensive though (400k on Sat morning, 350k on Sat afternoon / all day Sundays / public holidays) so it’s a good 70-120k or so more expensive than a typical Korean golf course. It’s also kind of far. It’s about…
8/13/2023 – La Vie est Belle (Old Course)
Tee Time: 7:03 Players: James, Dave, Andy This was a fun round with friends (although James is a co-worker, he’s kind of like a friend). It was my first time playing with Andy and he has a decent game. This course is tough to book but I got lucky a few weeks ago. In general,…
