"The hole-in-one prize is a Mercedes-Benz."


The exciting 'opening event' of Lassa Golf Course, which opens on the 1st of next month, is making headlines. All four par-3 holes offer various prizes including Mercedes-Benz A-Class cars, TechnoGym CrossPersonal equipment, hotel accommodation vouchers, and luxury golf bags. Located in the Yeongok-ri area of Idong-myeon, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, the course is built on a scale of 27 holes. 'Lassa' is the capital of Tibet, and in Tibetan language, it means 'Land of the Gods.' The nine-hole courses named Lake, Valley, and Mountain symbolize the journey to Shangri-La.


The lowest Lake Course actually evokes a heavenly space with its wide lake, natural valley, and the headland green located at the end of a dense pine forest on the Mountain course. It is interesting that the Lake course is composed of three holes each of par 3, par 4, and par 5. The Valley course crosses natural valleys at an altitude of 300 meters throughout the course. The signature holes are the 2nd and 3rd holes, which flank the deep and majestic Buldang Valley. The Mountain course's highlight is the dense natural forest on both sides of the fairway.



Designer Kwon Dong-young was in charge of the course design, and Kim Jong-su's clubhouse features a modern and efficient single-story design that creates a natural flow. The sauna with views of the entire course and the aesthetically pleasing restaurant directly contribute to relaxation. The general manager, course maintenance staff, and restaurant chefs are all veterans from Samsung. They are committed to pursuing a 'public luxury' experience. It is accessible within an hour from Gangnam via the Guri-Pocheon Expressway.
