The Crosby Golf Club ☆ Follow

The Crosby Golf Club is a 27-hole public facility located in Hoheop-myeon, Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The course sits on a 1,063,145-square-meter site at the foot of Gollaeami Mountain and was designed by Kentaro Sato, then vice president of the Japan Golf Course Designers Association, in collaboration with architect Choo Bo-hyun. Opened in April 2020, the layout is divided into three distinct 18-hole courses named Aria, Billy, and Charlotte, each offering a unique strategic experience. The Aria course is the longest of the three, designed to challenge long hitters while rewarding strategic play over aggressive attacks. The Billy course traverses the ridge of Gollaeami Mountain, featuring rocky outcrops and pine trees that require a balance of aggressive shots and disciplined restraint. The Charlotte course is designed to be more accessible, catering to players of all skill levels and emphasizing the value of local caddie advice to navigate the holes effectively. Accessibility is a key feature of the course's location, situated within a short drive of four major expressway interchanges: Icheon to the east, Deokpyeong to the west, Nam-Icheon to the south, and Seo-Icheon to the north. The design incorporates musical note motifs throughout the grounds, reflecting the club's namesake, Bing Crosby, the American singer and actor known for his love of golf. The facility operates as a premium public course, aiming to provide a satisfying round for everyone from beginners to advanced players.
