Baekje Country Club ☆ Follow

Baekje Country Club is a 27-hole public facility located in Eunsan-myeon, Buyeo-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea, situated at the foothills of Chilgapsan Mountain. The course opened in September 2008 with an initial 18-hole layout and expanded to its current 27-hole configuration in October 2016 with the addition of the Hansung Course. The total course length is 9,878 meters with a combined par of 108, while the currently operating 18-hole portion measures 6,623 meters with a par of 72. The property spans 1,445,198 square meters and was constructed using eco-friendly methods to preserve the natural terrain.

The facility features three distinct nine-hole courses named Sabi, Ungjin, and Hansung, each named after former capitals of the Baekje Kingdom. The Sabi Course is characterized by undulating fairways and significant elevation changes, with the first hole, Seongwang, featuring a downhill tee shot flanked by out-of-bounds areas. The Ungjin Course offers wide fairways with views of the 460-meter Cheongnyeongbong peak, requiring players to navigate out-of-bounds on both sides and clear a left-side bunker on the second shot. The Hansung Course presents challenges with out-of-bounds on the left and hazards on the right, particularly on the first hole where players are advised to aim for a light visible in the distance.

The course design emphasizes dynamic play and natural integration, featuring mature trees such as tiger skin pattern pines, quince, and apricot trees, along with azaleas and forsythia. The terrain includes significant undulations and elevation changes, contributing to a challenging layout that balances long fairways with strategically placed bunkers and hazards. The club also engages in conservation efforts, collaborating with the Geumgang River Basin Environment Office and Goun Plant Research Institute to restore native and endangered species.
