Golf Course Management Association Members Donated 3.6 Billion KRW Last Year

72 Golf Courses Sharing Hope with Local Communities
Supporting Nearby Villages... Distributing Daily Necessities to Underprivileged Neighbors

Golf courses nationwide shared hope with those in need last year.

The Korea Golf Course Business Association (KGBA) announced on the 25th that a survey of social contribution activities by its member golf courses in 2023 showed that 72 golf courses donated a total of 3.6 billion KRW. Hanyang CC generously contributed 650 million KRW for golf scholarships and helping underprivileged neighbors. The 88 CC, operated by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, donated 359 million KRW to the Liberation Association, the Military and Police Association, and earthquake relief efforts in Turkey. Daegu CC (256 million KRW), Haevichi Seoul and Hwasun CC (both 170 million KRW), and Pinx (168 million KRW) also delivered generous support.

Social contribution activities by golf courses were mainly concentrated around the year-end holidays, including Chuseok and Lunar New Year. Many golf courses also engaged in various forms of volunteer work throughout the year by visiting local protective facilities and marginalized groups. The KGBA stated, "Many golf courses close for extended periods during the winter season, so some were unable to respond to the survey. Some golf courses affiliated with large corporations keep specific social contribution amounts confidential." They added, "The actual amount of social contribution donations is expected to be much higher than the survey results."
