As the first phase, from 2022 to 2023, the county built and began operating an 18-hole park golf course covering 31,935 square meters in Hakya-ri 456-84, Toseong-myeon, Goseong County.

Since its opening in September 2024, the Goseong Park Golf Course has become popular among residents and tourists, thanks to its spacious parking lot, pleasant facilities, and views of Ulsanbawi Rock. User satisfaction has also been high.

Moreover, as the number of users continues to increase, the park golf course has significantly contributed to revitalizing the local commercial district in Toseong-myeon.

In response, the county plans to invest 1.64 billion won to build an additional 18 holes covering 17,500 square meters in Hakya-ri as part of the second phase, with the goal of completing the project within 2026. The new 18 holes will feature a more challenging and distinctive design. The project particularly takes into account the growing number of park golf enthusiasts and the leisure and health needs of the elderly population.

A county official stated, "Through the additional development in the second phase, we hope to see an increase in the park golf population and attract various tournaments to boost the local economy. We will continue to expand sports infrastructure so that residents can enjoy healthy leisure activities."
