About the Course

Nam Seoul Country Club is set amidst the hills on the outskirts of Seoul and offers some truly panoramic views. The club, established in 1971, is rated as one of the finest in Korea.

The rolling fairways, which are flanked by rows of trees, define the main characteristics at Nam Seoul. But it is the undulating and lightning-quick greens that form the primary defence of the course.

One of the most difficult holes is the seventh, which has a stroke index rating of one. A stream runs along the left side of the fairway while dense woodland hugs the right side.

Players agree that this is the most challenging hole at the resplendent Nam Seoul.

The Nam Seoul Country Club is located in Gyeonggi-do, Seoul. It is accessible by subway or bus and is located around four kilometres away from the Chorim Station.
