Golfing at Golfdom at Home Plus – Videos and Photos
In: American Culture Korea| Daily Life in Seoul, South Korea| Golf in Korea
11 May 2009
As you may know, golf is quite popular in South Korea. Its also extremely expensive. A round of golf in Korea will cost you over $200 US. So for now, I’m limited to periodic visits the Home Plus driving range across the street from me.
Here are some videos of me and Sam hitting balls at the driving range at Home Plus, officially called Golfdom.
We split one of the stalls which cost 16,000 Korean won for 1 hour – somewhat reasonable. Its huge, and its really nice. The bathroom, front desk, communal areas are all top notch.
The automatic ball dispenser saves your back. You’ll notice the backdrop is a huge 2d golf hole – adds to the experience.
Video of me swinging away.
Sam swinging away…. I got up close to the automatic ball dispenser in this video. I don’t know if you can see it, but there are buttons on the machine that let you raise and lower the tee.
Trendy Golfdom bathroom….
Trendy lounge area at Golfdom….
You can get a glimpse of the golf hole backdrop. The pin is in the middle of the silk screen….

[...] Although golf is extremely expensive in Korea it remains popular. Just in my modest neighborhood, there are 3 golf ranges within 4 blocks. A round of golf in Korea will set you back at least $200 USD, which is why I am limited to hitting balls at Home Plus. [...]
