Korea CC, located at 579 Giheungdanji-ro, Idong-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, is a 27-hole membership golf course that opened in 1994. It consists of three courses: Lake, Challenge, and Creek. The Challenge course is also known for offering views of Tuscany Hills (currently La Centra), the luxury residential complex featured in the drama 'Sky Castle'. Situated about 30 to 40 minutes from Gangnam, Seoul, and located about 2km past Gold CC after passing Lotte Premium Outlets and IKEA Giheung from Giheung IC, it shares a significant portion of the commercial area with Gold CC.

The Giheung Complex leading to the golf course is itself famous as a spot for cherry blossom drives in the spring, and restaurants frequented by golfers from Korea CC and Gold CC are clustered in the areas of Gomae-dong, Wongomae-ro, and Singomae-ro along the route. We have compiled reviews from various bloggers who have visited Korea CC to list places worth visiting before or after a round.

01Rejuvenating after a round — Lily Shabu-shabu and Neungi Mushroom Soup

The most frequently mentioned place after a round at Korea CC is 'Ilmanho'. Located at 94 Giheungdan-ro, Giheung-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, it boasts excellent accessibility as it is just a 5-minute drive from Korea CC. The signature dish is the Clam Shabu Course (42,000 won per person, minimum order of 2), which includes seasoned clams, clam pancakes, clam shabu-shabu, beef, various mushrooms, kalguksu (noodle soup), and clam porridge. Reviews also note that the restaurant is spacious enough to eliminate parking stress, even on weekends. If you are curious about the combination of Hanwoo beef and Neungi mushrooms, there is also 'Jiin Gogi Giheung Branch' (1st floor, 47-1 Wongomae-ro). Although famous as a meat restaurant, it offers a variety of meal options such as Neungi Hanwoo Beef Soup, making it suitable for breakfast or lunch; reviews also highlight it as a verified establishment, having been selected for the 2026 Blue Ribbon Survey. Operating hours are long, running from 8:00 AM to 12:40 AM the following day (with a break time from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM).

02Hangover cure for early morning rounders

If you frequently tee off early, 'Singal Jangsu Bon-ga Haejangguk' near the entrance of the Giheung Complex is considered a mecca for breakfast. Opening at 5 a.m., its signature dishes are Yangpyeong Haejangguk and Beef Gukbap, both featuring a rich broth packed with tripe, blood sausage, and bean sprouts. Reviews indicate that because it is only about a 5-minute drive from the golf course gate, it is ideal for warming up before a round in the early morning fog. There are also reviews mentioning that while looking for a place to eat at Korea CC, they visited 'Yangpyeong Haejangguk Giheung IC Branch' (48 Wongomae-ro) near Giheung IC to eat Haejangguk, Naejangtang, and Beef Gukbap; however, it is said that the parking lot is always crowded due to the influx of golfers heading to Gold CC and Korea CC.

It is mild and warms the body from the inside, making it ideal for raising your body temperature before a round of golf in the early morning fog.
