Pine Beach (Pine & Beach)
The Pine Beach course was opened in 2009 and was built along a cliff on the southwest coast of the Korean peninsula. It was built by the Hanyang Corporation in Seoul, South Korea, and designed by Gary Roger Baird. David Dale of Golfplan was responsible for the bunkers and greens.
Ten of the holes on this golf course in Haenam, not far from Gwangju, are positioned on a rocky peninsula that juts out into the sea about 200 meters. The architect made sure to expose as much of the course as possible to the water's edge by strategically routing all eighteen fairways. The Yellow Sea runs down the right side of the 430-yard 16th fairway; therefore, a retaining wall was created to accommodate a tee placement on the edge of the cliffs, resulting in a fantastic water carry.
