Anyang Country Club
When Anyang Country Club was established in 1968, its founders set out to commission Japanese architect Chohei Miyazawa to construct a world-class golf course on par with the best in Europe, Japan, and the Americas. As a result, many people in Korea regard Anyang to be the birthplace of golf in the country. The Anyang Benest Golf Club was renamed in 1996. As a result of merging the words "best" and "nest," the new word "Benest" was created. Why? It's unclear why Benest failed to take off as a brand name for the club, but in 2013 it reverted to its original moniker, Anyang Country Club.
Lee Byung-Chull, founder of the Samsung Group and current president of the Anyang Country Club, set out to design a golf course that would challenge and excite recreational golfers rather than professionals. The route winds its way through tall trees, which not only present a difficulty for the skewed driver but also a spectacular display of seasonal colour. It is simple to see why Anyang is considered "Home" by its residents.
