How to Choose a Restaurant in Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong Before and After a Round at Midas Valley Cheongpyeong GC

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

Midas Valley Cheongpyeong Golf Club, located at 73-111 Darakjae-ro, Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, is a membership-based 18-hole golf course (Valley Course and Midas Course) operated by the Daekyo Group. It is characterized by naming each hole after gods from Greek and Roman mythology, and the Par 3 'Venus Hole,' featuring a green floating on a pond, is considered the signature hole. With a relatively small membership of 228, reservations are easy to secure, and since it is located 5 to 10 minutes from the Seorak IC on the Seoul-Yangyang Expressway, it takes about 40 to 50 minutes to reach from the Gangnam area.

However, information on restaurants near this golf course is not yet as extensive as reviews for other golf courses in Yeoju, Anseong, and Pocheon. I will honestly introduce only two verified places — I decided that providing even just verified information would be more helpful for planning a visit, rather than not providing any guidance at all just because the evidence is thin.

013 minutes from Seorak IC, Famous Charcoal Grilled Dakgalbi

'Yumyeong Sutbul Dakgalbi Gapyeong Main Branch' (15 Sincheonjungang-ro, Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do; open daily 10:30–21:30) is cited as a great place to stop by on the way back to Seoul after a round. Reviews indicate that golfers from both Pristine Valley GC and Midas Valley Cheongpyeong GC visit together due to its proximity. The standard menu features soy-based charcoal-grilled dakgalbi served with homemade buckwheat noodles, and it is praised for having a subtle charcoal aroma that is not overly spicy. Located just 3 minutes from the Seorak IC, it minimizes the burden of travel routes after a round.

Near a golf course, I always face a similar dilemma. After a round, I get hungry, but heavy meals are a burden. However, going into just any place isn't an option because satisfaction is inconsistent.

02Hanchon Seolleongtang before an early morning round

If you are planning an early morning round, there is 'Hanchon Seolleongtang Gapyeong Seorak Branch' (1F, 1600 Yumyeong-ro, Seorak-myeon, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do; open daily 05:00–22:00). It is located 5.3km from Midas Valley Cheongpyeong GC, about an 8-minute drive, and is a consistently visited spot in the area, evidenced by reviews from people who have visited multiple times. The combination of spicy seolleongtang paired with makgeolli is frequently mentioned, and accessibility is also good thanks to the spacious parking lot.

03The clubhouse is neat and tidy, befitting a members-only club.

Reviews consistently describe the clubhouse as having the atmosphere of a members-only golf course, featuring a European-style roof, clock tower, main dining room, and large wine display cases. However, I have not yet found any reviews that detail the dining menu inside the clubhouse. If you plan to eat out after your round, please refer to the two places mentioned above; for other restaurants, it is safer to check a map app before visiting.
