This golf course, located at 180 Ohyang-gil, Gonjiam-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, is still frequently found in search results under the name 'Quro CC'. After opening as Gyeonggi CC in 1994, it went through name changes such as Masters CC, Gyeonggi Shangri-La CC, and Bluebird CC before converting to a public course and becoming Quro CC in 2018. In 2023, it was acquired by Daekwang Geonyoung and reborn as the current Rose Bien GC. It consists of 27 holes, with 9 holes each in Rose, Bien, and Neo, and is accessible within 40 to 50 minutes from the Gangnam area of Seoul. Among golfers who have visited since the Quro CC days, it is still common to refer to it by its old name.
The Gonjiam-eup area surrounding this golf course is home to eateries that open early in the morning, restaurants serving set meals perfect for a post-round round, and cafes along the road leading toward Icheon. We have collected reviews from various bloggers who have visited Quro CC and Rose Bien GC.
01Clubhouse meals, a hearty meal even in a hurry
Reviews regarding the meals at this golf course's clubhouse are quite diverse. There is a review mentioning having the spring cabbage and freshwater snail soybean paste soup before a morning round in the spring, while a golfer who rushed to a night round after work left a review stating they quickly ate the short rib steak omurice (28,000 won) before heading out to the course. There is also a review mentioning ordering beef radish soup for breakfast. Since light options such as soft tofu stew, omurice, and young radish bibimbap are available, there are generally choices to avoid heading out on an empty stomach, even on days when time is tight.
The food at the clubhouse is neat and well-prepared, so it is a good idea to visit leisurely before your round.hongrygolfer
02Filling up in Gonjiam before an early morning round
If you are planning an early morning round or a tee-off early in the morning, 'Oehalmonijip' is the place to go. Located at 352 Gwangyeo-ro, Gonjiam-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, it is about a 5-minute drive from the golf course. Open from Tuesday to Sunday from 05:30 to 14:00 (closed every Monday), it serves only breakfast and lunch. Reviews indicate that when ordering the beef brisket soybean paste stew and soft tofu stew, the side dishes—such as stir-fried fish cake, braised anchovies, seasoned greens, kimchi, and seasoned bean sprouts—were neat and tidy. Since the area is under construction, parking in front of the store may be full, so street parking across the street is also worth considering.
03After the round, a full meal
If you are looking for a hearty meal, 'Haenuri Dongsandeulbap Main Branch' is consistently mentioned. Located at 305 Gwangyeo-ro, Gonjiam-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, the Haenuri Set Meal (22,000 won) is the signature dish and is praised for its substantial composition of rice cooked in a pot and side dishes. One golfer, who has been visiting since the days of Quro CC, is such a regular that he says, "After a round at Rose Bien CC, it is always Haenuri Dongsandeulbap." Due to its popularity, it is advisable to expect a wait.
