Gwangju Nam-gu's First 'Seungchon Park Golf Course' Opens on the 23rd

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Seungchon Park Golf Course, being developed as the first park golf course in Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, will open on the 23rd after about four months of construction.

Nam-gu announced on the 21st, "We have completed the construction of Seungchon Park Golf Course at 588-47 Seungchon-dong to promote the health of local seniors," adding, "It is expected to greatly contribute to providing residents with various sports activity spaces and revitalizing community sports."

The construction of Seungchon Park Golf Course has been a long-cherished project for local seniors. About 300 members of 16 park golf clubs in the district had to travel to other districts for exercise due to the absence of any park golf courses in Nam-gu.

Accordingly, since June, Nam-gu has invested approximately 300 million KRW to build an 18-hole park golf course on a 20,527㎡ (6,220 pyeong) site in Seungchon-dong. For the convenience of seniors, a multipurpose plaza with parking lots and restrooms was also established.

To commemorate the opening of Seungchon Park Golf Course, Nam-gu will hold an opening ceremony on the 23rd at 10:30 AM, attended by District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae, Gwangju Mayor Kang Ki-jung, local members of the National Assembly, and local council members. Following the ceremony, the 8th Nam-gu District Mayor's Cup Park Golf Tournament will take place.

About 250 players and staff are expected to participate in the park golf tournament.

A Nam-gu official stated, "Among the five districts in Gwangju, Nam-gu was the only one without a park golf course. With the opening of the first park golf course, it will greatly support seniors' leisure activities and health promotion."
