Located at 177, Jungbu-daero 798beon-gil, Hobop-myeon, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, The Crosby GC is a public golf course consisting of 27 holes across three courses: Charlotte, Aria, and Billie. A sculpture depicting the real-life figure Bing Crosby stands guard in front of the clubhouse, making it a frequently mentioned photo spot among golfers. Its excellent accessibility is ensured by its location near the Icheon Lotte Outlet after exiting the Deokpyeong Interchange, and the fact that it is one of the few golf courses equipped with an underground parking lot is considered a welcome feature during the hot season. During the summer, two-person play and night rounds without caddies are also offered for a limited time.
01Scenery of the clubhouse and shade house
The Crosby GC receives many positive reviews regarding the condition of its relatively recently renovated clubhouse. Reviews mention that passing the locker room and going down one floor leads to the start house, and that during the summer, mist fog is sprayed onto the outdoor tables of the halfway house, allowing visitors to cool off and rest. Notable reviews also describe groups filling up on hangover soup nearby before heading out for an early morning tee-off, or enjoying a glass of makgeolli at the halfway house after finishing the front nine.
I was sharing a glass of makgeolli at the clubhouse, and as we were having such a pleasant time together, we had to finish the back nine hole by hole with a sense of regret.jschoi1123
02After the round, a Hanjeongsik set meal with 20 side dishes and Icheon rice.
If you are looking for a place to eat nearby after finishing a round at The Crosby GC, 'Hwanggeum-tteul Hanjeongsik' is the most frequently mentioned spot. Located at 775 Jungbu-daero, Hobop-myeon, Icheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, it is a red-tiled building immediately visible from the main road and is open daily from 09:00 to 22:00 (break time 15:00–16:30, last order 20:30). The menu is broadly divided into two categories: the Icheon Rice Hanjeongsik and the Soy Sauce Marinated Crab Set Meal. You can also add side dishes such as Spicy Pork Stir-fry, Bulgogi, Bossam, Stir-fried Octopus, and Dried Pollack Soup. About 20 types of side dishes, mainly consisting of seasoned vegetables, are served alongside grilled fish, Bossam, Jeon, Japchae, and Doenjang Jjigae; however, many reviews mention that the stone pot rice made with Icheon rice is the most memorable. Rather than leaving a strong impression, the meal offers a well-rounded and satisfying spread; the spacious hall, suitable for dining with a group, and ample parking space are also cited as advantages.
Compared to other golf courses, the area around The Crosby GC does not yet have as many reviews for restaurants. The reason Hwanggeum-tteul Hanjeongsik is mentioned first is that it is convenient to visit as a post-round dining spot if you avoid the break time (15:00–16:30), and it is easily accessible by car from the golf course. If you travel a little further toward the nearby Icheon Lotte Outlet, your options expand, so if you have extra time, it is worth extending your route in that direction.
