How to Choose a Restaurant in Gomae-dong Before and After a Round at Gold CC

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

Located at 398 Giheungdan-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, Gold CC is a 36-hole golf course with two courses, Champion and Master, operated by the GA Korea Group. It boasts excellent accessibility, being less than 10 minutes from the Giheung Interchange, and is famous for its 3rd round night golf, earning it the reputation of "night golf in the metropolitan area." Another advantage is its location, sharing a commercial district with the adjacent Lotte Premium Outlet Giheung, IKEA Giheung, and Korea CC, offering plenty of places to visit before or after a round.

The Gomae-dong and Gugal areas surrounding the golf course are a commercial district with a concentration of outlets, IKEA, and Costco, so people often share information about good restaurants with Korea CC golfers. We have gathered reviews from various bloggers who have visited Gold CC and compiled a list of places worth visiting before or after a round.

01The food at the clubhouse isn't bad either.

There is a review stating that the Natural Pine Mushroom Hanwoo Beef Bone Soup (27,000 won) ordered at the clubhouse restaurant contained a generous amount of meat, allowing one to enjoy the rich broth. However, for awkward tee-off times like around 12:30, some golfers prefer to grab a quick coffee and bread near the Giheung IC rather than at the clubhouse and head in leisurely.

02When you crave Jeolla-do home cooking, go to Gomaemaru

"Gomaemaru" is the most frequently mentioned spot among golfers at Gold CC and Korea CC. Located on the second floor at 65 Gongse-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, this restaurant specializes in Jeolla-style home cooking. Opening at 6:30 AM, it attracts many golfers for breakfast before an early round or for a nourishing meal after a round. Reviews consistently praise dishes like Osam Bulgogi and Aged Kimchi Mackerel Stew for being mild and easy on the stomach. Equipped with a spacious parking lot and a VIP room, it accommodates group gatherings and takeout orders, and is well-known enough that the counter is filled with autographs from golfers and celebrities. Business hours are 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM on weekdays, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturdays, and it is closed on Sundays.

Perhaps because Gold CC and Korea CC are nearby, I noticed that there are a lot of regular customers visiting to replenish their energy before and after a round of golf.
