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

Located at 180 Ohyang-gil, Gonjiam-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, Rose Bien GC is a public golf course that was originally operated as Quro CC. In 2019, the 9-hole Neo Course was added, completing a 27-hole system comprising Rose, Bien, and Neo, and the course was renamed to its current name after being acquired by Daekwang Geonyoung in 2023. With accessibility just around 40 minutes from Seoul, many reviews describe the course as feeling more like a gallery than a golf course, thanks to the clubhouse lobby decorated with dazzling media art and sculptures. The colorful pinwheels in front of the start house are also an iconic photo spot here.

In the Gonjiam-eup area surrounding Rose Bien GC, there are barley rice restaurants, wood-fired roast duck, and buckwheat noodle restaurants that open early in the morning. We have collected reviews from several bloggers who have visited Rose Bien GC.

01Small pleasures to enjoy at the clubhouse

Rose Bien GC has many small reviews regarding its clubhouses and service menus. Players are praised for the generous portions of the complimentary Korean fried chicken served after completing the front nine holes, and the Neo Course clubhouse offers ice cream, a welcome treat on hot days. The fact that every golf cart is equipped with an ice box, allowing players to keep snacks received or pre-purchased drinks cool, is also cited as an advantage compared to other golf courses. There is even a review mentioning that a group visiting on a rainy day was able to choose their preferred beverage from ginger tea, citron tea, and coffee.

Eating a single ice cream in the scorching heat was surprisingly energizing.

02A meal of barley rice before an early morning round

If you want to fill your stomach before an early tee-off, 'Tobagi Boribap' is a recommended choice. Located at 320 Gwangyeo-ro, Gonjiam-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, it is a 7-minute drive from Rose Bien GC and is open from 7:00 AM to 7:30 PM. It is also close to Namchon CC, Greenhill CC, and The Sienna Seoul CC, making it well-known among golfers in the area. Single-serving options include Cheonggukjang (fermented soybean paste stew), Sundubu (soft tofu stew), and Kimchi Jjigae (kimchi stew) (10,000 won each). For groups of two or more, you can order the Boribap Jeongsik (13,000 won), which includes Cheonggukjang, mixed seasoned vegetables, seven side dishes, and the barley rice. A popular way to enjoy the meal is to mix the seasoned vegetables, side dishes, and Cheonggukjang into the barley rice, then wrap it in lettuce wraps.

Neat and feels like home cooking! The spicy stir-fried pork, in particular, was approved by my husband.
