⛳ Inheon Grand CC Night Golf Review & Guide (Incheon, Korea)
Incheon Grand CC: My Confidence Booster ๐
๐ฑ Round Conditions ★★★☆☆
I first visited Incheon Grand when a friend had their “first tee ceremony,” and I ended up coming often during the COVID years.
Pros
-
Excellent accessibility (one of the best in the western Seoul metro area)
-
Wide fairways → mishits aren’t embarrassing
-
Entirely flat → even for lazy golfer like me, the 18-hole walk is a picnic
Cons
-
Green conditions very poor (speed around 2.3 at night)
-
Short course → at least 2 holes where you can’t use driver
-
Walking-only → if the group ahead is slow, you just wait endlessly ๐
๐ฐ Night Green Fees (Saturday, Aug 30)
-
Green fee: ₩169,000
-
Cart: ₩68,000 (big carts carry all the bags; caddie walks with you)
-
Caddie fee: ₩160,000
๐ข Facilities & F&B ★★★★☆
The club was renovated before/after COVID, so it’s fairly clean for an older course.
-
Showers & pro shop are decent. The pro shop especially has lots of cute items, many from WACC (Kolon group).
-
But beware: Titleist Pro V1x was ₩200,000 a dozen ๐คฏ
-
Locker rooms: Men on the 1st floor of the starter house, women on the 2nd floor with the main dining hall.
-
Food & drinks: The halfway house serves Korean-style fruit punch (hwachae) — surprisingly good, even better than Seowon Hills ๐
⛳ Course Difficulty ★☆☆☆☆
Pre-COVID, this was a true “easy-mode” course. They’ve since added some bunkers, but it’s still on the soft side.
-
Ladies’ tees: extremely easy (big gap compared to white tees)
-
Greens: very slow
-
Memorable hole: OUT #7 (Par 5, handicap 1) → A tricky par 4 with a mid-fairway water hazard and a bunker guarding the right side. For me, this hole is cursed — without fail, either my tee shot or my approach finds the water, leaving me with my “standard” triple bogey.
๐️♀️ Round Review ★★★★☆
I went in mainly to practice my driver, and honestly, it worked out better than I expected.
The course is short enough that even with my low launch angle — about 10° at best — the ball still rolled out nicely.
My irons weren’t perfect either (a couple of fat shots in there), but the layout was forgiving enough that they still ended up working out. I even managed to pull off two solid 7-iron shots at 130m, which felt like small victories worth celebrating.
This time, I didn’t walk away with a dreaded GIR 0% round — a big relief.
On top of that, I was able to test my own golf log app during the round, and it functioned just as I hoped. That alone gave me a sense of progress.
But more than anything, the round was made special by the people I played with.
Great playing partners can turn any course — no matter how slow the greens or dim the lights — into a place you actually enjoy. And that day, I walked away feeling genuinely happy.
๐ฏ Conclusion
-
COVID-era cardio spot
-
Easy course = confidence booster (even I laughed instead of crying here)
-
Greens & lighting are terrible, but for me? This is a “self-esteem savior” course.
