# Daejeon and Sejong Park Golf Fees and Reservations

> Corporation-run courses in Daejeon are free, and nonresidents must book in advance. Find resident rates and booking procedures for Geumgang in Sejong, free course locations, closure information and what to prepare for your visit.

## Key Points

- Choose a course, then check the booking procedure for your place of residence.
- If you live outside Daejeon, book through the corporation's integrated reservation system from 4 weeks to 2 days before your visit.
- For Geumgang in Sejong, nonresidents should select a date and session through Sejong Integrated Reservations.

For park golf courses in Daejeon and Sejong, first check how to register based on where you live. Nonresidents using Daejeon courses must book from 4 weeks to 2 days before their visit. Nonresidents using Sejong's Geumgang course should use the integrated reservation system. Bring identification and your own equipment when you visit.

Fees and reservation conditions are based on information from the operators checked on November 6, 2026.

## Comparing Fees and Access by Place of Residence

Resident and nonresident status depends on whether you live in the city where the course is located. A Daejeon resident visiting Sejong's Geumgang course is a nonresident. Sejong residents visiting corporation-run courses in Daejeon also need nonresident reservations.

| Course to visit | Residency requirement | Fee | Registration method |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Daejeon Gapcheon Courses 1 and 2, Yudeungcheon | Daejeon residents | Free | First come, first served on site; golf club sticker checked |
| Daejeon Gapcheon Courses 1 and 2, Yudeungcheon | Residents outside Daejeon | Free | Advance booking through the corporation's integrated reservation system |
| Sejong Geumgang | Sejong residents | 3,000 won | Check the resident admission procedure with the operator |
| Sejong Geumgang | Residents outside Sejong | Ask about the applicable nonresident fee | Advance booking through Sejong's integrated reservation system |
| Sejong Central Park, Oganangtteul, Hansol, Water Restoration Center B, Bugang | Check residency requirements for each course | Free | Check whether each course uses on-site registration or reservations |

The confirmed resident fee for Geumgang is **3,000 won**. The nonresident fee needs confirmation because public data and the integrated reservation fee schedule show different amounts. (Confirmed figure: 6,000 won for a nonresident single-use pass, as of July 20, 2026 · Source: data.go.kr · As of 2026-07-20 · Checked 2026-11-10) Even free courses may require reservations or admission checks.

## How to Book Daejeon Park Golf Courses

Nonresidents using Daejeon courses should apply through the corporation's integrated reservation system. The booking period is **from 4 weeks to 2 days before the date of use**. Daejeon residents have their golf club stickers checked and enter on a first-come, first-served basis.

1. Visit the Daejeon Facilities Management Corporation's integrated reservation system.
2. Register and log in, then select the park golf course you want to use.
3. Select the date and a morning or afternoon session.
4. Complete the online application form and submit your reservation.
5. Check the confirmation text message or My Page to confirm that your reservation is complete.
6. Collect a daily-use sticker from the management office on the day of your visit.
7. Nonresidents should attach the sticker to their hat before entering.

Nonresident reservations must be made individually and are limited to 1 per day. According to the corporation's guidance, nonresident use is limited to 40 people per day. There are 20 places each for the morning and afternoon sessions.

| Nonresident reservation session | Hours |
| --- | --- |
| Morning | 09:00~13:00 |
| Afternoon | 14:00~18:00 |

Daejeon residents visiting for the first time should first ask how to obtain a sticker. Bringing identification and a golf club will help with on-site checks. Do not assume that a phone inquiry alone completes your reservation.

The reservation procedure follows the [Daejeon Facilities Management Corporation's Park Golf Course User Guide](https://www.djsiseol.or.kr/portal/sub020716_02.asp).

## How to Book Sejong Geumgang Park Golf Course

Residents outside Sejong should book Geumgang Park Golf Course through Sejong's integrated reservation system. According to the information checked, reservations open **daily at 09:00**. You can book dates up to 7 days ahead.

1. Visit Sejong's integrated reservation system and log in.
2. Find Geumgang Park Golf Course under sports facilities.
3. Check the reservation option for nonresident use.
4. Select an available date and session.
5. Enter your application details and check the completed reservation.
6. Before visiting, confirm the applicable fee and payment method with the operator.

Sejong residents should ask about resident admission procedures and documents proving residency. Do not assume that free courses use the same reservation method as Geumgang. Check each facility's registration conditions with the corporation's reservation inquiry service at 044-850-4277.

The corporation's booking instructions direct users to select a facility and then a time under sports facilities. Detailed procedures are available in the [Sejong Facilities Management Corporation's Public Sports Facilities Guide](https://www.sjfmc.or.kr/kor/sub04_02_04.do?menu=parkgolf).

## Comparing Main Course Locations and Layouts

In Daejeon, start by comparing the Gapcheon and Yudeungcheon courses; in Sejong, start with Geumgang and the free courses. The list below includes selected main courses, not every course in the area. Course difficulty and playing time are not shown because no verified figures were available.

### Main Courses in Daejeon

Daejeon's Gapcheon Courses 1 and 2 and Yudeungcheon each have 18 holes. The operator is the Daejeon Metropolitan City Facilities Management Corporation. The neighborhood you need to visit for Gapcheon depends on the course number.

| Course | Location | Number of holes | Setting and distinctions |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Gapcheon Course 1 | Taprip-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon | 18 holes | Course along Gapcheon; confirm the location in Taprip-dong |
| Gapcheon Course 2 | Yongsan-dong, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon | 18 holes | Course along Gapcheon; distinguish it from Course 1 |
| Yudeungcheon | Mannyeon-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon | 18 holes | Course along Yudeungcheon |

### Main Courses in Sejong

Sejong's Geumgang has 36 holes, while free courses such as Central Park have 9 holes. The facilities below are covered by the Sejong Facilities Management Corporation's guidance. Sources differ on Bugang's hole count, so ask about the number currently in operation.

| Course | Location | Number of holes | Setting and features |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Geumgang | Sejong-dong, Sejong Special Self-Governing City | 36 holes | Paid outdoor course |
| Central Park | Sejong-dong, Sejong Special Self-Governing City | 9 holes | Sports facility within Central Park |
| Oganangtteul | Areum-dong, Sejong Special Self-Governing City | 9 holes | Course within Oganangtteul Neighborhood Park |
| Hansol·Bueongtteul | Garam-dong, Sejong Special Self-Governing City | 9 holes | Course within Bueongtteul Neighborhood Park |
| Water Restoration Center B | Daepyeong-dong, Sejong Special Self-Governing City | 9 holes | Outdoor sports facility on the center grounds |
| Bugang Community Sports Park | Geumho-ri, Bugang-myeon, Sejong Special Self-Governing City | Confirm with the operator | Free course within the community sports park |

Bugang is listed as having 18 holes in the corporation's facility information. Other records list 16 holes. To determine which parts of the course you can use, ask the reservation inquiry service how many holes are currently open.

## Operating Hours and Closures

When choosing a visit date, check both regular and seasonal closures. Sejong lists closures on Mondays and during the grass-growing season. Daejeon's corporation user guide also specifies Monday closures.

| Category | Listed operating hours | Regular and seasonal closures | Additional checks |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Daejeon corporation-run courses | 09:00~18:00 | Every Monday; March to April grass-growing season | Closures due to rain, snow, or on-site decisions |
| Sejong park golf course guidance | Winter: 07:00~18:00 | Mondays; March to April grass-growing season | Sessions for each course and closure notices for the current year |

The Daejeon Facilities Management Corporation's Park Golf Course User Guide lists the following closure conditions.

> Closed: Every Monday, March to April (grass-growing season), and during rain (snow)

Do not plan a Monday visit based only on a listing that says Daejeon courses are open year-round. The corporation's user guide lists regular closure days separately. On rainy or snowy days, ask the course whether it is open before leaving.

Daejeon's guidance also mentions self-directed use before and after operating hours. Nonresidents should follow the hours of their reserved session. Check with the management office about who is eligible for self-directed use and the admission conditions.

## Checking Discounts and Equipment Rentals

For senior and disability discounts at Geumgang, first check whether they apply to park golf. Do not calculate a discount based only on the integrated reservation system's general discount table. Equipment rental availability and fees also need to be checked for each course.

| Item to check | What is currently known | What to ask |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Geumgang nonresident fee | Public data and the reservation fee schedule show different amounts | Nonresident fee and unit of use for your visit date |
| Discount for those aged at least 65 | It is unclear whether the general discount table applies to park golf | Eligibility and required documents |
| Disability and other discounts | Conditions need to be checked for each course | Eligibility for the user and companions, and required documents |
| Club and ball rentals | Rental availability and fees have not been confirmed for each course | Available rental equipment and preparation procedures |

Usage fees and equipment rentals are separate items at Daejeon's free courses. Do not assume equipment is also free just because there is no admission fee. If you do not have your own equipment, check whether rentals are available before visiting.

## Parking, Toilets, Rest Areas, and What to Bring

Do not judge amenities by the course name alone; check their locations too. The Sejong Lake and Central Park guide lists parking lots and toilets. Information about park amenities is available in the [Sejong Facilities Management Corporation's Sejong Lake and Central Park Guide](https://www.sjfmc.or.kr/kor/sub04_15_01.do).

Do not interpret Central Park's parking facilities as dedicated parking for the park golf course. Parking fees and toilet locations at other courses need to be checked individually. Also ask whether rest areas, clubhouses, and changing spaces are operating.

| Item | What to prepare or check |
| --- | --- |
| Identification | Documents to verify your identity and place of residence |
| Reservation details | Course name, date, session, and completion status |
| Personal equipment | Park golf club and ball; rental availability if renting |
| Clothing | Comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for exercise |
| Hat | For attaching the daily-use sticker required for nonresidents at Daejeon courses |
| Travel information | Parking entrance, course entrance, and toilet locations |
| Discount documents | Required documents if your eligibility for a discount has been confirmed |

The Daejeon corporation lists smoking and drinking alcohol on the course as grounds for immediate removal. Using open flames and cooking also result in immediate removal. Follow the corporation's rules and staff instructions on site.

## Visiting with Companions Who Live Elsewhere

Even when traveling together, check admission conditions according to each person's place of residence. A typical example is Daejeon and Sejong residents visiting Gapcheon together. Daejeon residents enter on a first-come, first-served basis on site, while Sejong residents need nonresident reservations.

| Visit situation | What to check first |
| --- | --- |
| Daejeon and Sejong residents visiting Gapcheon together | Completed reservations for nonresident companions and stickers for resident companions |
| A resident outside Sejong visiting Geumgang | Nonresident reservation details and the fee actually charged |
| A nonresident planning a same-day visit to Daejeon | Whether advance reservations have closed; ask separately whether alternative on-site registration is available |
| A beginner without equipment visiting a free course | Check admission eligibility and equipment rental availability separately |

If your group includes nonresidents, coordinate around an available reservation session first. First-come, first-served admission for residents does not guarantee that everyone in the group can enter together. It is best to check registration conditions separately for the reservation holder and companions.

## Confusing Course Names with Actual Addresses

When searching for directions, enter both the course name and its administrative neighborhood. Gapcheon Course 1 is in Taprip-dong, and Course 2 is in Yongsan-dong. According to the corporation's facility information, Hansol Park Golf Course is in Garam-dong.

| Potentially confusing name | Location to check |
| --- | --- |
| Gapcheon Park Golf Course | Whether your reservation is for Course 1 or Course 2 |
| Hansol Park Golf Course | Bueongtteul Neighborhood Park in Garam-dong |
| Water Restoration Center Park Golf Course | Water Restoration Center B in Daepyeong-dong |

After booking, compare your reservation details with the destination in your navigation app. When calling, give both the course number and location. For Gapcheon in particular, checking only the name could send you to the wrong course.

## Phone Contacts for Each Course

Contact the relevant course about operating status and on-site conditions of use. Registration methods for Sejong's free courses can be checked with the corporation's reservation inquiry service. The numbers below are listed in official facility guides and the corporation's FAQ.

| Contact | Phone number | What to check |

| Gapcheon Course 2 | 070-8822-0129 | Confirming the reserved course and same-day operating status |
| Yudeungcheon | 070-8822-0130 | On-site use and closures |
| Daejeon corporation's Sports Facilities Management Team | 042-724-3232 | General rules of use |
