Gold Hill Country Club, located an hour’s drive away from Seoul, South Korea, is continuing to grow in ahead of a grand opening that has been greatly anticipated.
This story was first reported by Golf Course Architecture magazine.
Construction of the golf course, designed by a local architect, began in 2019 but it never opened. The course has changed hands a few times, with Ramid Group acquiring it in 2022, and now, together with Troon, it is completing construction of the layout and is on track to open for preview play in September with a grand opening later this year.
Troon International is providing support in a range of areas, including development and pre-opening services, post-opening agronomy, marketing and operations services. Troon Golf will manage and operate the club.
“The entire course exudes warmth and comfort, fostering independent play in a consistently pleasant atmosphere,” said Ahn Hojun, general manager at Gold Hill. “The highlight is undoubtedly the par-four sixteenth, which sits at the highest point of the course, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of four cities.
“Gold Hill will attract golfers from the cities of Cheonan, Pyeongtaek, Anseong and Asan. And given it is located just an hour away from Seoul, it will bring golfers from there, too. Once the second Gyeongbu Expressway opens in 2025, it can be accessed within 50 minutes from Seoul.”
