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.
Have your personal park golf equipment ready before your visit.

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.
