Resident and Non-resident Fees and Discount Conditions

Standard daily fees vary by place of residence. Gyeongju residency is determined by your registered residential address on the day of use. The fee table is based on 1 person per visit for 4 hours and 18 holes.

Discounts for Older Adults and People with Disabilities

The official booking details pages for Courses 1 and 2 specify who qualifies for discounts. The discount rate for persons of national merit, people with disabilities, people aged at least 65, and other eligible groups is 50%. Ask the management office of the course you plan to visit about the required proof and applicable fees for your category.

You can find the discount wording in the official Course 1 usage guide. If you are using Alcheon, ask about that course’s eligibility conditions. Do not calculate your fee on the assumption that multiple discounts can be combined.

Locations and Facilities: Course 1, Course 2, and Alcheon

All three courses are 18-hole facilities operated by the Gyeongju Facilities Management Corporation. Gyeongju Courses 1 and 2 are in the Seokjang-dong and Chunghyo-dong areas. Alcheon is in Guhwang-dong, according to the public facilities guide.

The neighborhood addresses listed for Courses 1 and 2 differ even between official guides. Do not identify the course number by its address alone. Before leaving, ask the management office to confirm the entrance for the course you booked.

Although all three courses have the same number of holes, their facility areas differ. Area alone does not indicate course difficulty or hole length. Check the on-site course guide for slopes and obstacle layouts.

Parking, Restrooms, and Shelters

The public facilities guide lists parking and restrooms for Courses 1 and 2. The amenities guide also includes pergolas and water dispensers. A pergola is a covered outdoor rest area.

The official guides checked do not list equipment rental fees. If you do not have a club and ball, ask about rentals before visiting. Do not set off assuming you can rent them on site.

Operating Hours and Regular Closures

Standard operating hours vary by season. The winter season runs from November through February of the following year. March and April are a regular closure period for turf protection.

The spring 2026 closure notice cited turf and facility repairs as the reason. However, the years shown in the notice’s title and body differ. Check the latest notice or contact the management office for the reopening date in a particular year.

Alcheon Trial Evening Operations

Alcheon has a notice for trial evening operations separate from its standard operating hours. The trial period is October 3 to November 15, 2026. Do not assume evening operations will continue after that period.

The hours for each period are posted in the official Alcheon booking guide. Before an evening visit, ask whether the course will be open that day. No fixed hours are given here for the separate schedule used during extreme heat.

The Difference Between Online Booking and On-site Admission

You may have to wait on site even after completing an online booking. Booking registration and the order of admission to the course are separate procedures. Annual members are also admitted on a first-come, first-served basis on site.

The public facilities guide lists a capacity of 72 people for an 18-hole course. You must wait if the number of people exceeds this limit. If you have other plans after your round, allow for the possibility of waiting.

Resident Annual Pass Calculation Example

Comparing only standard individual fees, 20 daily visits cost the same as the annual fee. This calculation uses the published fees. If you qualify for a discount, check the amount that actually applies before comparing.

In a simple fee comparison, the break-even point is 20 visits. Also consider that you cannot use the courses during closure periods. Annual members may use only one course per day.

Ask the management office how the annual pass validity period is calculated. Do not assume it is always valid for a full year from the purchase date. It is also a good idea to check the refund conditions before paying.

What to Bring and What to Do on Your First Visit

Bring your ID or annual membership card and a payment card. Also check that your own club and ball are in usable condition. If you need rental equipment, it is best to ask the management office before leaving.

On site, start with a warm-up as required by the official rules. The safety guidelines below follow the precautions listed on Gyeongju Public Service Reservations. If an accident occurs, play must stop immediately.

1. Warm up with stretching or similar exercises for at least 5 minutes before playing.
2. Wear golf shoes or athletic shoes.
3. Use designated paths when moving around.
4. Before swinging, check to your left and right and look for people nearby. Never swing toward anyone.
5. Do not approach the teeing area while someone else is swinging.
6. If an accident occurs, stop playing immediately. Take emergency action, such as calling for help.
