Golf culture is gradually changing. It is shifting from a personal hobby to a family leisure activity. Golf is no longer just a pleasure for golfers but a sport to enjoy with family. Due to this change, it is not enough for a golf course to be just good. It must have good field conditions, food, and attractions. We introduce the ‘Field 3GO’ golf courses suitable for spending happy times with golf. This time, it is Midas Lake Icheon Golf & Resort.

◆EnjoyGO= Midas Lake Icheon is a public golf course located in Seolseong-myeon, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do. It is a space that seems as if nature’s beauty has been hidden by the gods themselves. The shining sun and the atmosphere reminiscent of an ancient temple are impressive. It is owned by the Daekyo Group. It boasts a total length of over 7,200 yards. It is a tournament course with ample space considering the gallery.

It adds stories and emotions that could not be felt in existing public courses. It was built with 27 holes on 1,401,649㎡ (about 423,998 pyeong). Unlike mountainous golf courses, it is constructed on rolling hills and plains with an elevation difference within 30 meters. Flat-feeling fairways are arranged below the mounds on both sides. This provides psychological stability during tee shots. Areas adjacent to existing forests use the same tree species to create a natural forest. The plain areas achieve an open and expansive feeling through restrained planting.

The existing natural waterways were not damaged. Natural streams connected to a large lake were introduced. The course design maximizes self-purification ability by adding waterfalls and aquatic plants. It is an eco-friendly golf course considering strategic and aesthetic functions as well as resource recycling. The lake is used as irrigation water.

At the clubhouse restaurant, menus are ordered by table order. Robots serve food to the tables. Premium ingredients are used. The signature menu is the ‘Icheon Sotbap Set Meal,’ which highlights local characteristics. You choose between grilled fish sotbap and abalone sotbap. Four side dishes are served together. Icheon rice facilitates carbohydrate oxidation reactions in the body and helps relieve fatigue. Abalone, rich in calcium, is effective for bone health and immune system strengthening. It is the best food to restore energy for golfers who have played long rounds.
