Seowon Valley Country Club

Seowon Valley Country Club was designed by Jae-Chong Lee and opened in 2000. The club is located an hour north of Seoul in Paju and is home to two member-only nine hole courses with an additional 27 holes open to the public. The two private nines are appropriately named Seowon and Valley and feature dramatic elevation changes, narrow tree-lined fairways and stunning views of the foothills surrounding Mt. Geum Yeong. The Seowon course is known for the par-5 second, a daunting risk-reward hole with a forced carry over water, while the Valley nine features the dramatic par-3 eighth played over a steep drop to a small green below.
