This article was machine-translated from the Korean original. Read the Korean original

Located at 459-160 Jangyeo-ro, Janghowon-eup, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, Blackstone Icheon GC is a prestigious golf course consisting of three courses—East, North, and West—with a total of 27 holes. It officially opened in February 2010 and is owned and operated by Blackstone Resort, an affiliate of Daewon Industrial. It is recognized for its high level of course difficulty and maintenance, to the extent that it hosts the KLPGA major tournament, the 'KB Financial Golden Life Championship,' every year. Situated on the border between Yeoju and Icheon, many golfers extend their travel routes to the Janghowon-eup area and the Jeomdong-myeon and Ganam-eup areas of Yeoju before and after their rounds in search of dining venues.

01Breakfast restaurant that opens at dawn

If you are looking for a place to have breakfast before an early morning round, 'Hanchon Seolleongtang Yeoju IC Branch' is frequently mentioned. Located at 517 Sejong-ro, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do, it is open daily from 4:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Although it is somewhat far from Blackstone Icheon GC—about 15km (approximately 18 minutes) away—it is one of the few restaurants that opens early in the morning, to the extent that some golfers revisit it multiple times. Reviews suggest that the classic combination is spicy seolleongtang paired with makgeolli.

If you prefer a place closer to the golf course, there is also 'Eowurang Namulchon'. Located just a 3-minute drive from Blackstone Resort Icheon, it is situated at 357 Jangyeo-ro, Janghowon-eup, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, and is open daily from 06:00 to 19:00. While the menu offers a variety of options including Namul Bibimbap (10,000 won), Cheonggukjang Set Meal (12,000 won), Spicy Kalguksu, and Galbitang, only the Baekban Set Meal (10,000 won) is available in the early morning. Composed of tuna kimchi stew served with a fried egg and seven side dishes, it is known among golfers with early morning tee-offs as a cost-effective breakfast choice. 'Minjeon Sikdang', located along the Jangyeo-ro axis serving as an entrance and exit road, is also frequently mentioned as a Baekban restaurant that serves spicy pork stir-fry and soybean paste stew set meals from early morning.

02After the round, the representative restaurants of Yeoju and Janghowon

If you are looking for a hearty spicy meal, 'Mishikga' is a recommended choice. Located in Deokpyeong-ri, Jeomdong-myeon, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do, it is about 3 to 5 km from Black Stone Icheon GC. It is a great place to enjoy spicy braised short ribs or regular braised short ribs with rice cooked in a pot, and is praised as a good spot for a filling meal with companions after a round of golf. If you are looking for a lighter hangover cure, there is also 'Solbatchon'. Situated at 825 Jangyeo-ro, Jeomdong-myeon, Yeoju-si, it is one of the closest options, being 3.5 km from the golf course. They serve pufferfish hangover soup (11,000 won), set meals (9,000 won), and king-sized short rib soup; reviews indicate that the mild broth and neat side dishes make it suitable for both breakfast and a hangover cure.

If you prioritize proximity and price, I recommend Solbatchon, and if you want a proper meal after a round, I recommend Misikga.

If you are looking for a meat-based after-party, 'Cheonwoo Hanwoo,' located just 10 minutes from the golf course, is another option. You can enjoy aged Hanwoo special cuts and ribeye at reasonable prices, and with its spacious seating and large parking lot, it is well-regarded as a venue for business after-parties or the final meal of group gatherings.

03On the way to Yeoju Outlet, 12 kinds of medicinal herb mushroom hot pot

If you enjoy both shopping and golf, Damwon Garden is a place repeatedly recommended by various bloggers. Located on the first floor at 171 Songsam-ro, Ganam-eup, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do, it boasts a convenient location right next to Victoria GC, just a 5-minute drive from Blackstone Icheon GC, and a 20-minute drive from Yeoju Premium Outlets. Business hours are 10:30 to 20:00 from Thursday to Tuesday (with a break from 15:00 to 16:30), with Wednesdays being a regular day off. The signature dish, Beef and Mushroom Hot Pot (20,000 won per person, minimum order of 2 servings), is praised for its rich broth, made with 12 kinds of medicinal herbs, beef, and various mushrooms such as white wood ear, enoki, pine mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms. The Black Goat Hot Pot (32,000 won) is also considered a nourishing dish. It makes for a perfect meal when paired with rice cooked in a pot using Yeoju rice. The table setting, neatly arranged in traditional brassware, and the view beyond the large windows are also frequently mentioned advantages.

Beef, various mushrooms, and fresh vegetables were served, and the plating was so neat and the harmony of colors was truly extraordinary.
