The Pyongyang Golf Course sprawls at the place where Lake Thaesong, a man-made lake, and the foot of Mt Sokchon in Nampho adjoin each other.
Service facilities on the golf course—golf holes located over a green carpet to suit the geographical features of the mountain, cosy lodgings by the lake, a wading pool, billiard and table-tennis halls and exercise and dining rooms—remind viewers of fairy-tale buildings.
Spectacular is the morning on the golf course where the dew on the turf leaves glistens as the sun rises over the surface of the lake shrouded in a thin mist. The evening when the water surface of the lake is bathed in the light of the setting sun also gives visitors an unusual feeling peculiar to the place.
The golf course offered service to many foreign and local visitors after opening in September 1987. It also hosted the golf tournament in celebration of the fifth anniversary of its inauguration, the Pyongyang golf games, the international golf tournament, the fifth ASEAN friendship golf tournament, the amateur Pyongyang golf contest and other games.
It underwent extensive reconstruction in October 2019.
“Covering an area of nearly 200 hectares, the Pyongyang Golf Course can accommodate over 200 people at a time and the total length of 18 holes, the first nine plus last nine, is 6 777 yards,” said manager Ri Ki Son.
Every hole has been built in a distinctive style by preserving natural undulations, with bunkers, forest and other obstacles adding to the charm of golf.
“I feel relieved and can play golf well whenever I come here,” said Jong Yong Min, an amateur who frequents the course. “I was really excited when I approached 60 centimetres in front of the hole with a single stroke on the 120-metre course.”
“The environment of the golf course is very fascinating,” said Choe Kyu, another amateur aged 75.
Both ordinary and family lodgings are so designed and furnished to make visitors feel at home.
The golf course is also equipped with service facilities for boating, angling and others.
