[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] There is an indispensable pleasure when playing a round: food.

Eating delicious food after 4 to 5 hours of exercise is pure happiness. However, finding dishes that satisfy all companions’ tastes at a golf course is not easy. If you choose poorly, you can’t help but feel it was a waste. Golfers put as much effort into selecting meal menus as they do into golf course information.

There is information to ease golfers’ concerns. Samsung Welstory has selected signature menus from 52 golf courses nationwide. Here is the ‘Field Food Map’ produced by region.

[Gyeonggi & Gangwon] Gimpo CC Assorted Fried Snacks, Oak Hills Grilled Dried Pollack Set Meal Catch Attention

Gimpo CC’s assorted fried snacks and instant tteokbokki are popular. These are menus that people of all ages can enjoy without burden. They include egg, dumplings, and squid fritters. Available at the shaded rest area. Warm food is freshly prepared and served. If you request the menu in advance to the accompanying game progress staff, waiting time can be reduced.

Jayuro CC’s ‘Jayuro Hanpan’ is popular. It offers sundae (Korean blood sausage), jokbal (pig’s trotters) slices, and seasoned pollack sashimi. Vision Hills’ ‘Handmade Side Dishes,’ featuring various namul (seasoned vegetables), is a distinctive menu rarely seen at other golf courses.

Some places offer fun foods like Bungeoppang (carp-shaped pastry) at Hwasan, Dakgangjeong (sweet crispy fried chicken) at Venue G, and Don Mahawk Cheese Tonkatsu at Seragio. Eden Blue’s seafood jjambbong soft tofu stew and Crosby’s green onion yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) are popular menus to relieve hangovers from the previous day.

In the Gangwon region, Oak Hills’ ‘Nunmaeul Grilled Dried Pollack Set Meal’ and Pine Valley’s ‘Traditional Seopguk’ offer local flavors.

[Chungcheong Region] Golfzon County ‘Cheonan Samgeori Byeongcheon Sundae’, Gamgok ‘Pork Kimchi Soup Rice’ Unique Menus

Golfzon County Cheonan’s signature menu is ‘Cheonan Samgeori Byeongcheon Sundae.’ It is served with Seoul-style tofu kimchi, Gyeongsang-do style pork skin, and Jeolla-do style seasoned vegetables that complement the Byeongcheon sundae. It’s interesting how Cheonan, a transportation hub, is described as a culinary hub. It also has a golf hotel, making it perfect for a 1-night, 2-day trip.

Other popular menus at various golf courses include Kim Jeon-sun Set (Seosan Su CC), Grilled Flatfish with Cheonggukjang Hot Pot Rice Set (Sejong Field), Seafood Pancake (Hanmir Daedeok), Charcoal BBQ (Baekje), Seasonal Cockle Bibimbap (Sale), Pork Kimchi Soup Rice (Gamgok), Garlic Tteokgalbi Wrap Set Meal (Kings Rock), and Jujuga Hot Pot Broth Tteokbokki (Club D Boeun).

[Yeongnam Region] Club D Geochang Offers Minari Shrimp Pancake and Pollack Roe Handmade Tofu

Club D Geochang captivates taste buds with unique menus: Minari Shrimp Pancake and Pollack Roe Handmade Tofu. These are perfect side dishes to pair with Makgeolli. The aroma of minari (water dropwort) and the texture of shrimp harmonize well. The pollack roe handmade tofu is also easy to enjoy, served separately with pickled vegetables and pollack roe. It’s not salty, so it can be eaten without burden.

Other intriguing menus include Gupo Noodles at Stonegate CC, Hanyang Jokbal and Sundae at Golfzon County Gyeongnam, Grilled Mackerel and Seasonal Doenjang Jjigae at Goseong Nobel, Sokuri Saecham at Hi-St, Sundae Hanpan at Miryang Nobel, 456 Hanpan at Asiad CC, Yeonhwari Abalone Innards Porridge at Haeundae Beach CC, and Squid Trio at Golfzon County Gampo. These names alone spark curiosity.

[Honam Region] Solaside’s Stone Minari Skate Stew, Prison’s Namdo Gat Kimchi Rice Bowl... How About Enjoying Namdo Cuisine?

Solaside’s representative dish is Stone Minari Skate Stew. You can enjoy the chewy yet soft and mild skate. It’s best to taste it after a round while feeling the cool sea breeze blowing from the West Sea, Geumho Lake, and Yeongam Lake. There is also the fun of touring detached houses and terrace houses surrounding the golf course.

In the Honam region, many golf courses offer various Namdo dishes as signature menus besides Solaside. Representative examples include Ganjaemi Hanpan at Hwasun CC, Samgyeopsal Duruchigi and Pollack Roe Tofu at Golfzon County Suncheon, Namdo Gat Kimchi Rice Bowl at Forizon, Seafood Pancake and Spicy Seasoned Webfoot Octopus at Club D Geumgang, Cheonma Seafood Buchu Jeon and Acorn Jelly at Golfzon County Muju, and Zucchini Stew at Golfzon County Seonunsan.
