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

Located at 164, Goyangdaero 1643beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Seoul Hanyang CC is a membership golf course founded in May 1954 and is introduced as the oldest in Korea. It features a total of 36 holes, combining the OLD and NEW courses, and boasts a long history of tournaments, having hosted the golf events of the 1986 Seoul Asian Games on the NEW course. Thanks to its accessibility—reached within 20 minutes from the Gangbuk and Eunpyeong areas of Seoul and 40 to 50 minutes from the Gangnam area—reservations tend to be competitive regardless of whether it is a weekday or weekend.

The Wondang and Seongsa-dong areas surrounding Hanyang CC are densely populated with golf courses such as Hanyang Pine CC, New Korea CC, and Goyang CC, so golfers looking to eat before and after a round naturally frequent the same area. We have compiled reviews from various bloggers who have visited Hanyang CC to organize everything from Korean restaurants with outdoor gardens to late-night hangover soup spots and barbecue restaurants for after-parties.

01Pork belly and gondre rice in an outdoor garden, Hanyang Sanjang

The most frequently mentioned place near Hanyang CC is 'Hanyang Sanjang'. Located at 43, Goyangdaero 1643beon-gil, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, it is open from 10:00 to 21:00 and is closed on the first Monday of every month. Reviews mention that it is convenient due to its spacious private parking lot, and that there are many autographs hanging at the entrance as traces of visits from media outlets and celebrities. It serves both Korean food and meat dishes, and it is explained that visitors tend to split into two groups: those who grill pork belly outdoors, and those who enjoy the Gondre pot rice set meal indoors.

In the summer, the cold noodle set meal, which includes both cold noodles and smoked duck for just over 10,000 won, is cited for its excellent value. It is also highlighted that the restaurant features a garden much larger than the interior, partially decorated in tent-like structures to create a camping atmosphere for dining; that the air conditioning keeps the atmosphere comfortable even in the middle of summer; and that there is a walking path available for a stroll after the meal.

02For group gatherings, mulhoe and seafood

If you are traveling in a group, such as for a company dinner or a club gathering, 'Gajinhang Mulhoe' is a strong contender. Located at 457-25 Heung-ro, Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, it is open from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM (last order at 8:00 PM, closed every Monday). While specializing in mulhoe, it also offers a wide variety of seafood, including raw halibut, rock octopus, sea squirt, sea cucumber, and abalone. Group seating is available, making it convenient for large parties to dine together, and reviews mention that the grilled mackerel served as a complimentary side dish was particularly impressive.

There is also 'Pohang Mulhoe Goyang Branch' located on the same Heung-ro. The address is 409 Heung-ro, and business hours are from 11:00 to 20:50 daily. The sea squirt mulhoe includes raw fish slices, and the restaurant is said to be spacious and comfortable, making it suitable for group gatherings. Since there is a closing time, if you plan to visit late in the evening, it is a good idea to call ahead and order your mulhoe.

03Unlimited refills of leafy greens, soft tofu and baby octopus

Since parking is convenient, I thought it was perfect for visiting with group gatherings or companions before or after a round of golf.

When you crave a spicy soft tofu stew, Heungdo 416's 'Bukchon Sundubu + Jjukkumi' is the top choice. With ample dedicated parking space in front of the restaurant, visiting before or after a round of golf is hassle-free. The signature dishes include various soft tofu stews with seafood, beef, or dumplings, as well as grilled stir-fried octopus available in regular or spicy flavors.

If you are combining a drive a little further toward Hwajeong, there is also 'Ilsan Cheongsol Jjukkumi Kalguksu'. Their signature dish is a set featuring spicy grilled octopus and dried pollack and clam kalguksu, with the spiciness described as comparable to Shin Ramyun. It is close to Hanyang CC, Hwajeong Library, and Eunbit Park, so it is recommended as a destination for a meal and an outing.

04If you're playing a round at dawn or in the morning, start with Gukbap.

05Have a bowl of cold noodles and go for a drive

'Somunnan Palldang Naengmyeon Main Branch,' known as a scenic drive course situated right in front of a golf course, is located at 1588 Goyang-daero. It is open daily from 10:30 AM to 9:00 PM (with a break from 3:15 PM to 5:00 PM, and last orders at 8:25 PM), and grilled meat is served as a standard side dish when ordering mul-naengmyeon or bibim-naengmyeon. Both the mild mul-naengmyeon broth with crushed ice and the sweet and spicy bibim-naengmyeon sauce are highly rated for customer satisfaction, and from September to March, Cheonggukjang Baekban and Spicy Yukgaejang are sold as seasonal menu items.

06The after-party features the master's grilled fish and ribs.

Its signature dishes include grilled beef short ribs aged in a secret sauce and marinated grilled Korean pork. The restaurant features a series of large, detached Hanok buildings, and after the meal, guests can enjoy free coffee and jujube tea accompanied by daily live performances at the outdoor birch tree plaza, making it well-suited for entertaining elders or family gatherings.

07If you need a moment to spare with a cup of coffee

If you want to sit back and relax after a round of golf, there is 'Baedagol Bakery House'.
