Centerium CC is a golf facility located in No-eun-myeon, Chungju, North Chungcheong Province, South Korea. The course is divided into three distinct 18-hole layouts named England, Scotland, and Wales, offering a total of 54 holes. The grounds are characterized by significant topographical variations, featuring rolling hills, steep slopes, and deep valleys that define the strategic nature of the game. The club has undergone recent infrastructure updates, including the completion of a clubhouse renovation and the replacement of its turf with Korean grass.

The England course is defined by its expansive views and strategic hazards. The 1st hole is a long par 4 that demands a precise shot down the center to avoid an OB area on the right. The 5th hole presents a short par 3 where a re-banked bunker guards the front right of the green, while a sheer cliff protects the back side. The 6th hole is a blind par 5 that requires a long drive over a deep valley, with natural forests and hazards lining the fairway, making a safe third shot advisable.

Scotland’s layout is heavily influenced by water and elevation changes. The 3rd hole is a demanding uphill par 4 where the steep grade requires careful club selection. The 4th and 7th holes are par 3s that feature parallel water hazards on both sides of the green, with the 7th being noted as the most difficult short hole on the course. The 5th hole is a par 4 that drops and then rises to the green, flanked by OB areas and long rough, requiring a bold drive to clear the front bunker.

The Wales course tests accuracy through its use of large mounds and out-of-bounds zones. The 1st hole is a par 4 where a large mound dominates the view from the tee, and an OB area begins just 70-80 meters to the right. The 2nd hole is a straight par 3 protected by side bunkers on the right, requiring a precise approach to the left-center of the green. The 3rd hole is a dogleg-left par 4 where players must navigate around a lake, with OB areas on both sides penalizing any lack of accuracy.
