Golf culture is gradually changing. It is shifting from a personal hobby to a family leisure activity. Golf is no longer just a pleasure for golfers but a sport to enjoy with family. Due to this change, a golf course being good alone is not enough to be the best. There must be good field conditions, food, and attractions. We introduce the ‘Field 3GO’ golf courses that are suitable for spending happy times with golf.

◆EnjoyGO= Every golfer’s dream is to play a round on a tournament course. This is because they can play on the best course settings. Jeju Teddy Valley CC is famous as a ‘tournament course.’ Last August, it successfully hosted the Doosan Construction Weave Championship, a newly established event on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour. Although it was the first tournament course opening in 15 years since the 2008 BC Card Classic, the majority of the 120 participating players gave thumbs up to the course setup.

Teddy Valley CC is a tournament course planted with Bermuda grass, allowing for year-round rounds.

Opened in 2007, Teddy Valley CC is located in Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo City, Jeju Island. You can enjoy the clear air exhaled from Gotjawal, a unique primeval forest of Jeju, while enjoying the feast of white golf balls on the green grass all year round. It is a membership course with 18 holes on a 1,054,620㎡ (about 320,000 pyeong) site. At every hole, a panoramic picture unfolds right before your eyes. From the 1st hole, Hallasan and Sanbangsan mountains are visible in a straight line. This is a view that can only be appreciated at Teddy Valley CC in Jeju. The combination of lakes and palm trees adds an exotic charm.

Being at a low altitude of 190 meters above sea level, it is not cold in winter, and the effects of rain, wind, fog, and snow are minimal, allowing rounds all year round. It is interesting that Bermuda grass, preferred on courses of the PGA Tour, is planted on the fairways. The impact feel at the moment of striking the ball is excellent. The greens are ‘Augusta National level.’ They are notorious as ‘glass plates’ with a speed of 3.3m. The Hallasan break acts on the greens, and if you let your guard down, three-putts occur frequently.

Two-player rounds allow carts to enter the fairway. There is an event hole to soothe golfers’ regrets. A usage fee of 10,000 won is charged. This money is donated as a fund to help neighbors in need. Teddy Valley CC operates the Mercure Ambassador Jeju with 71 rooms. It offers an outdoor infinity pool, hotel lounge, fitness center, yoga room, screen golf, convenience store, and more.

This is the signature menu of Teddy Bear Restaurant, the 'Jeju Delights Hansang'.

◆EatGO= At golf courses, as much effort is put into food as into the course. At Teddy Valley CC, you can taste the finest cuisine. The Teddy Bear Restaurant, where a piano-playing bear doll warmly welcomes golfers, sources fresh local ingredients from Jeju as well as directly from Tongyeong, Busan, and other regions. This is why it is frequently selected as one of Korea’s top 10 clubhouse restaurants by domestic golf media. Even general tourists come after hearing the rumors.

The signature menu is the ‘Jeju Delights Hansang.’ It features dishes using Jeju specialties. You can enjoy today’s porridge, seasonal sashimi, black pork belly boiled pork, braised cutlassfish, soup, four side dishes, wraps, and rice. Only domestic rice, cabbage, red pepper powder, and soybeans are used. The taste is special, and the portions are generous. Teddy Valley CC’s cleanliness and customer satisfaction service are bonuses. You won’t regret ordering anything from the menu. Popular dishes also include Empress Seafood Jajangmyeon, Emperor Abalone Jjamppong, Pyongyang Naengmyeon with beef ribs, and Naju Hanwoo beef soup.

Mercure Ambassador Jeju, operated by Terry Valley CC, has opened a condition trail for customers.

◆SeeGO= There is no shortage of attractions. When you leave the golf course, the Jungmun Tourist Complex is only 7 minutes away, and various tourist spots are nearby. There are also places where you can score points with your young children. The Teddy Bear Museum, a theme park-style museum opened in 2001 by Teddy Valley’s operating company JS&F Co., Ltd., lets you immerse yourself in the world of childhood with thousands of teddy bears. You can create unique memories.

If you have time, the Gotjawal Ecological Trail is highly recommended. It is an irregular rocky area formed by lava flows emitted during volcanic activity, creating diverse vegetation such as forests and bushes. Gotjawal is a Jeju dialect compound word combining ‘Got,’ meaning forest, and ‘Jawal,’ meaning stone. Mercure Ambassador Jeju offers free access to the ecological trail. It helps visitors experience the Gotjawal that only Jeju has preserved. It is a natural habitat for over 30 species of trees including Songak, Janggasi tree, Sotae tree, and Zelkova, as well as rare endemic plants like Kongjjagae vine and fine bracken. The trail is made of decks, making it comfortable to walk. It is a great opportunity to experience the unique ecosystem of Gotjawal.
