The Korea Public Golf Course Association conducted training related to the reorganization of the golf course classification system.


On the 13th, about 90 executives and employees of member companies attended a training session where officials from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Fair Trade Commission were invited as instructors to educate on the revised Sports Industry Promotion Act, its enforcement decree, enforcement rules, notifications, and the revised standard terms and conditions for golf course use. The revised Sports Industry Promotion Act and its enforcement decree changed existing public golf courses to non-membership golf courses as of November 4, 2022. Among non-membership golf courses, those meeting certain requirements such as usage fees can be designated as public-type golf courses.


Ra Hoseon, an official from the Sports Industry Division of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, explained the designation requirements and duration for public-type golf courses, as well as the application methods for usage fees at public-type golf courses. Jo Yujin, an investigator from the Consumer Policy Bureau of the Fair Trade Commission, informed about the mandatory scope of golf course usage fees when applying for designation as a public-type golf course, refund criteria for reservation fees, and refund standards in cases of cancellation due to reasons attributable to consumers or businesses.



Chairman Lim Giju stated, "There are many changes occurring in golf course operation methods due to the revisions of the Sports Industry Promotion Act, enforcement decree, and enforcement rules," adding, "Through this training, we were able to resolve questions related to the application procedures for designation as a public-type golf course and the interpretation and application of the standard terms and conditions."
