Jinwi Park Golf Course Officially Opens in April
81 Additional Holes to Be Built at 5 Locations
Large-Scale 54-Hole Course Considered for Tournament Hosting
Pyeongtaek City in Gyeonggi Province is embarking on the creation of a large-scale park golf course to promote active sports activities among the growing senior population.
On the 24th, Pyeongtaek City announced that following the official opening of the 18-hole Jinwi Park Golf Course, completed last November, it plans to newly establish five park golf courses within the city by April.
The city explained that with about 30,000 visitors annually flocking to the currently operating 9-hole Pyeongtaek Park Golf Course, the related population is expected to increase rapidly, prompting the expansion of facilities.
The newly created park golf courses will total 81 holes, including ▲Cheongbuk Haneulbit Lake Park (18 holes) ▲Poseung-eup Beonje Neighborhood Park (18 holes) ▲Paengseong-eup Geunnaeri (9 holes) ▲Anseongcheon Riverside Area (18 holes) ▲Wonpyeong-dong Sewage Treatment Plant (18 holes). Once the project is completed, the total number of park golf holes across Pyeongtaek will increase to 108.
The city also added that it is additionally considering the creation of a large-scale 54-hole park golf course aimed at hosting international and national tournaments.
Jung Jang-seon, mayor of Pyeongtaek, said, "To make park golf a new tourist resource for Pyeongtaek, the city will expand park golf infrastructure that attracts visitors not only nationwide but also from around the world."
