Created as a 9-hole 1-course, with an additional 9 holes to be expanded by investing 2 billion won in the future

[Wando＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Jeonnam Wando-gun announced that it held a completion ceremony on the 22nd as the Gogeum Park Golf Course construction project was completed.

The park golf course, created in Nongsang-ri, Gogeum-myeon, Wando-gun, was established on a 11,848㎡ site with one course of 9 holes by investing a total project cost of 1 billion KRW to allow more residents to enjoy park golf, which has recently gained popularity among various age groups.

In particular, most of the course was designed mainly on flat land to make it easily accessible to everyone.

In the future, an additional 2 billion KRW will be invested to add 9 more holes, applying various difficulty levels to create a total of 18 holes.

Furthermore, by adding various convenience facilities and attracting related tournaments, the plan is to develop it into a park golf course frequently visited nationwide.

A county official said, “We hope that the activation of park golf will not only improve residents' health but also increase the happiness index through a healthy lifestyle,” and added, “The county will do its best to build various sports facilities so that all residents can enjoy sports close to their daily lives.”

Meanwhile, park golf follows a game progression method similar to regular golf but is simpler and played with a single club throughout the entire course, making it easy for beginners to start and a lifestyle sport enjoyed by people of all ages and genders.
