Fashioned in 1971 by Seiichi Inoue, the unheralded Japanese master of design, NamSeoul Country Club traverses hilly and mountainous terrain where you’ll need a deft putting stroke to master the slippery greens.
Former Chairman of the Korea Golf Association (KGA), Jeong-soo Hur, founded the club and he then passed the reins to his son Kwang-soo Hur who is also now KGA Chairman.
Apart from hosting the annual Maekyung Open, NamSeoul is also the venue for the Korea Amateur Golf Championship.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
