This screen park golf course was created in response to the rapidly increasing demand for park golf. It was installed by utilizing unused space within a public sports facility in order to overcome the limitations of outdoor spaces.


In particular, as it is an indoor environment unaffected by climate or weather, user satisfaction is expected to be high.


The screen park golf course covers a total area of 113 square meters and is fully equipped with two hitting bays, a putting practice area, and a lounge space, allowing visitors to enjoy park golf in a comfortable setting.


Any Gwangju citizen can use the facility free of charge by making a reservation in advance. After about one month of trial operation, full-scale operations will officially begin on August 5.



Mayor Bang Sehwan stated, "I hope the newly established screen park golf course will serve as an indoor sports space that can be enjoyed by all citizens, regardless of age or gender, not just by seniors." He added, "We will continue to identify unused indoor spaces and expand screen park golf courses, while also doing our best to create more outdoor park golf courses."
