South Korea: Seoul & Jeju Island
Overview
The most underrated golf destination in Asia.
South Korea has quietly built some of Asia's finest courses and nobody from the UK has noticed yet. Jeju Island alone has more championship-standard golf than most entire countries. Pair it with Seoul's extraordinary food and energy and you have a trip that surprises every time.
Who this is for
For the experienced golf traveller who has covered Europe and wants something genuinely new. South Korea's courses are world-class and the food scene is exceptional. Anyone who loves Japan will love Korea — it has much of the same precision and care, at lower prices.
Difficulty
Serious golfers (0–20 handicap)
Walking
Easy — buggies standard, caddies mandatory at top courses
Flight
11.0h · London to Seoul Incheon direct (11hrs). Korea Air and Asiana fly this daily.
