[Wando＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 6th that it will create a 1-course, 9-hole park golf course in Nongsang-ri, Gogeum-myeon to promote sports and leisure activities for residents.

Park golf is a compound word of park and golf, and it is a sport that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can easily and simply enjoy using wooden golf clubs and plastic balls.

The creation of the Gogeum Theme Park Park Golf Course was promoted to resolve the inconvenience of residents who use facilities in Haenam and surrounding areas due to the absence of park golf courses in the jurisdiction and to provide a space where they can enjoy leisure activities in a pleasant environment.

The park golf course is scheduled to begin construction in early July and be completed in December this year. With a total project cost of 1 billion KRW, it will be built on a total floor area of 11,193㎡ in Nongsang-ri, Gogeum-myeon, consisting of 1 course with 9 holes (Par5 1, Par4 4, Par3 4), roads, parking lots, landscaping facilities, and more.

A county official said, “We will do our best to ensure that the construction schedule proceeds without any setbacks and will also focus on solid operation to contribute to the health improvement and leisure demands of the residents.”

Meanwhile, Wando-gun is investing a total of 41.2 billion KRW to build sports facilities to revitalize community sports and successfully host the 2023 Jeollanam-do Sports Festival and the 2024 Jeollanam-do Community Sports Grand Festival.
