Overall rating

Sky 72 (Ocean)

The Sky 72 name tag indicates the number of holes that are available at one of South Korea’s largest golf facilities. The 18-hole Hanul course and the 54-hole Bada complex (featuring the 18-hole Ocean, Lake and Classic layouts) opened for play in 2005 and golfers using either venue enjoy the use of a separate clubhouse.

Laid out next to Seoul’s international airport, the courses are also supported by an enormous 300-bay floodlit driving range and short game area. Steve Nicklaus, son of the famous Golden Bear, designed the Ocean course and it has attracted several high profile golf tournaments since it allowed paying customers onto the fairways.

The LPGA KEB-HanaBank Championship, previously hosted by The Club at Nine Bridges and Mauna Ocean Golf & Resort, was first held on the Ocean course at Sky 72 in 2008, when Candie Kung from the Unites States captured the first prize by one stroke from Australian Katherine Hull. It’s now a regular event on the Ladies’ Tour.
