KTO promotes budget golf courses

The Korea Tourism Organization is promoting budget golf courses around the country. The tourism organization released a list of golf clubs that can fit the varied needs of golfers. For golf rounds for two, Yeonggwang Country Club, Pine Hills Country Club and Gochang Country Club offer affordable golf packages that start at 95,000 won. For golfers planning an overseas golfing tour, Bosung Country Club may change their minds with its five-day package that includes a round of golf, accommodation, and breakfast, lunch and dinner. Country clubs in southern provinces offer a good round for those looking for warmer climates. The Ocean Country Club in Yeosu offers one of the best views overlooking the southern sea and a great golfing experience at courses decorated with pine trees. Another country club in Pohang provides a variety of facilities for family members including spa and swimming pool.
