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

Located at 580 Bupyeong-ro, Gangcheon-myeon, Yeoju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Castle Pine CC is a public golf course consisting of two courses, Lake and Valley, with a total of 18 holes. It is widely praised for its excellent landscaping, with decades-old pine trees densely surrounding the course. Reviews also mention the challenge offered by the Valley Course, which features blind holes equipped with traffic lights. With a generous 7-minute tee-off interval, golfers can play without worrying too much about the teams ahead or behind them, and the course also offers night rounds without caddies. As the notoriously difficult '360° CC (Ravidol)' is situated right next door, many restaurants in the area display signs targeting customers from both golf courses.

01There are days when breakfast is included in the green fee.

Castlepine CC has previously run seasonal promotions where clubhouse breakfast was included in the green fee. Reviews indicate that you can choose between beef hangover soup or seaweed soup, and that terrace-style tables next to the putting range at the starting plaza allow you to enjoy light snacks without feeling self-conscious. However, since this breakfast inclusion is a seasonal promotion and not available year-round, it is advisable to confirm availability when making a reservation.

Breakfast at the clubhouse is included in the green fee!! I picked the beef hangover soup~ My friend insisted on the seaweed soup~
