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

Located at 244, Pulmugol-ro 106beon-gil, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, Giheung CC is a 36-hole membership golf course that opened in 1991. The East and South courses are characterized by gentle curves that utilize the gentle mountain terrain, while reviews indicate that the North and West courses require powerful driver shots and strategic play to take advantage of the natural slopes. It is easily accessible from Seoul via the Gyeongbu Expressway and the Yongin-Seoul Expressway, and it often shares dining areas with nearby golf courses such as Rivera CC, Hanwon CC, Hwaseong Sangnok CC, and Plaza CC.

I have gathered reviews from several bloggers who have visited Giheung CC and compiled a list of places worth visiting before and after a round.

01Hangover cure for early morning rounders

The most frequently mentioned spot is 'Yangpyeong Haejangguk Giheung IC Branch.' Located at 48, Wongomae-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, it opens early in the morning, serving from 5:00 to 15:00 on Mondays and from 5:00 to 17:00 from Tuesday to Sunday. Many reviews describe it as a mecca for golfers heading to Giheung CC for early morning rounds, and its signature dishes include Haejangguk (with tripe and blood), Beef Rice Soup, and Yangpyeong Water Dumplings. It is also praised for being convenient for group visits, thanks to spacious, private free parking lots located next to and behind the store.

If you head a little further toward Dongtan, there is also 'Manwol' (6-41, Dongtanchidongcheon-ro 4-gil). Located 3.6km from Giheung CC, about a 6-minute drive away, it is open daily from 06:00 to 20:00, with reviews praising it as a great place for breakfast before a round. The signature dishes are spicy beef bone soup and dumpling soup. There is also 'Panlong Sokpul-i Haejangguk' (766-2, Yeongcheon-dong, Dongtan-gu, Hwaseong-si), which serves both hangover soup and Chinese cuisine. Known among golfers at Giheung CC, Hwaseong Sangnok GC, and Rivera CC, it offers hangover soup for breakfast and Chinese dishes for lunch and dinner. Business hours are 08:00 to 20:30 (break time 15:00 to 16:00), and it is closed every Monday.

02When you crave nourishing food, spicy fish stew and eel

If you are craving a hearty, spicy soup, 'Jeonju Saengtae Maeuntang' (63 Giheungdanji-ro, 1st floor) is a recommended choice. The Saengtae Maeuntang costs 22,000 won per person, and you can receive a recommendation for a size of Ureok Maeuntang based on the number of people in your party; reviews suggest ordering grilled cutlassfish as well. There is also a tip that it is better to make a reservation in advance, as there are many reservation customers visiting from golf courses or nearby companies. For a summer health food, there is also 'Daegwol Sutbul Jang-eochon,' a restaurant specializing in charcoal-grilled freshwater eel. They serve domestic freshwater eels that are pre-grilled over charcoal, and reviews indicate that golfers from Riviera CC, Giheung CC, Hanwon CC, and Plaza CC visit to nourish their bodies after a round.

03A pasta meal with a great view — Haute Art

If you are looking for an Italian restaurant with a great atmosphere, there is 'Haute Art' (9, Giheungdanji-ro 121beon-gil, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do). Reviews indicate that since the cafe and restaurant buildings are combined, it is convenient to have coffee right after a meal. Menu items include Pomodoro Pasta (19,000 won), Prosciutto Pizza (29,000 won), and Black Truffle and King Crab Pasta (35,000 won). It is also noted that the view overlooking the Giheung Forest from the window seats is impressive. Business hours are 11:00 to 21:30 (weekday break time 15:00 to 17:00, no break time on weekends).

04The after-party is Seokjeong Hanwoo, and for a light touch, a Tourbillon.

If you are looking for a proper after-party, 'Seokjeong' (20-9, Pulmugol-ro 77beon-gil, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do) is a recommended choice. Reviews indicate that with its Hanok-style exterior, spacious parking lot, group seating, and private rooms, it can accommodate everything from golf club after-parties to formal family meetings. The staff personally grills 1++ grade Hanwoo ribeye as well as special cuts like skirt steak, hanger steak, and tri-tip, and it is said to be a popular spot among golfers at Giheung CC and Hwaseong Sangnok CC. Business hours are from 09:10 to 21:10. If you prefer a lighter finish, the Italian restaurant 'Tourbillon' (94-15, Giheungdanji-ro), located near Giheung IC, is also mentioned as an after-party venue.
