Disc Golf in South Korea!

Hey Disc Golfers! 

 

If you're coming to or living in Asia, come play with the rapidly-growing Disc Golf commuity in South Korea.  We have courses in Seoul, Jingyo, Yeosu, Changwan and Jeju Island.  We'd love to have you join us for some golf and world-famous Korean hospitality!

 

Hope to see you in Korea!

Hey Chaz,

I'm teaching English in Seoul and of course brought a few discs with me just in case. Is the course at World Cup Park? If so, where in the park? Are there still groups playing on Saturdays? The weather is great for it right now. Please let me know.

Hey Michael,

The Seoul Disc Golf Club play most Saturdays at World Cup Park. Below is the email for Kim Sung Bae, the founder of KPDGA, disc golf in Korea! There is the Korean National Tournament coming up on Oct 23rd, at the golf course above World Cup Park. ALL LEVELS are welcome!!! (most of the Korean players are beginners) Let me know if you're interested, and I'll send you info...

And, you're always welcome to come south and play the two course I have in Jingyo---just west of Jinju! I have a huge 3 bedroom apartment, so you more that welcome to stay here overnight...

Best, Chaz

Hello,
My name is Brad and I live in Changwon. Where is this disc golf course you speak of. I have yet to see one and would LOVE to play while here in Korea. Thanks

[Michael]

Brad,

I played for the first time in Seoul a few weeks ago. There is no permanent course here, but the KPDGA guys play on Saturdays at the base of the World Cup Park at 7:30a. They take 3 portable baskets out and have the park very well set up to play 18 holes by moving the baskets. These guys were really fun to play with and the atmosphere was very competitive but not intimidating. They are having the Korean National Tournament on Oct. 23, and this would be a good time to meet everyone. They have arranged nine portable baskets for the tournament, and all levels are welcome. This tournament is at the top of the World Cup Park at the abandoned golf course (look at google maps of the park and you can see the links.) Should be a good time. I think its 30,000W to play.

Hope this helps,

Michael
