Woo Jeong Hills Country Club

Woo Jeong Hills Country Club, located in South Chungcheong approximately 90 minutes from Seoul, opened in 1993 and was designed by Perry Dye. It's a challenging tournament venue, having hosted the Korea Open on a number of occassions. The course features steep undulating fairways, challenging green complexes and 12 water hazards, all framed by forested mountains. The outward nine at Woo Jeong features the par-5 fifth with a hazard, trees and flower beds flanking the right side of the fairway, as well as a view of the surrounding mountains framing the distant green. The inward nine is home to the signature 221-yard par-3 13th played to a tiny island green, as well as the daunting par-5 18th with a green surrounded by a grassed amphitheater. Often described as western-style, many holes are reminiscent of the Dye family’s famous work in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
