Located just off the southeast coast of South Korea, Namhae Island is the setting for the spectacular new South Cape Owners Club, where businessman and entrepreneur Jae Bong Chung first welcomed members to his luxury resort development in the autumn of 2013. The course is a Kyle Phillips design, set out on a dramatic cliff top property, with ocean views available from all eighteen golf holes.
Tees and fairways have been seeded with bluegrass, the rough contains a mix of fine fescues and putting surfaces have all been carpeted in bentgrass. Granite outcrops fringe many of the fairways. The most memorable stretch of holes on the card begins with the downhill par five 11th and carries on for half a dozen holes, highlighted by a stunning pair of waterside par threes at the 135-metre 14th and the 204-metre 16th holes.
“When you come to South Cape, you know you have arrived at a special place,” the owner, Mr. Chung, said at the official course opening. “It is a pure pleasure for the senses, with the sights, the smells and sounds of the sea all around you. There is not a golf experience anywhere that will surpass the quality of South Cape.”
