Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) is gaining attention as the Mangwon Yusuji Park Golf Course (190 World Cup-ro 25-gil), operated by the district, has recently become popular through word of mouth among residents.

Last year, Mapo-gu established a 9-hole (33 strokes) park golf course on approximately 6,000㎡ of land around Mangwon Yusuji Sports Park in Mangwon-dong to promote residents' health and expand the base of community sports.

The Mangwon Yusuji Park Golf Course is bustling with residents enjoying park golf, which has a low risk of injury and simple rules that anyone can follow. It has become so popular that people line up to use it on weekends and other busy times.

Additionally, the Mangwon Yusuji Park Golf Course is highly praised for its advantages, including proximity to various sports facilities such as an artificial turf soccer field, soft tennis courts, futsal courts, inline tracks within the sports park, and the nearby Han River.

Thanks to the strong support, Mapo-gu will extend the operating hours from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. starting April 1, allowing more residents to enjoy park golf.

During the summer season from May to August, the course will operate flexibly from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

With the extension of operating hours, the number of sessions, which was four times a day with two-hour intervals, has increased to up to seven sessions during the summer. Each session at Mangwon Yusuji Park Golf Course can be used free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis by up to 36 people.

Mapo-gu plans to expand various sports facilities, including the park golf course, so that all residents can lead healthy and happy lives through community sports.
