They're always advertising Seongnam Golf Course on AFN. I guess if it's cheap enough for GI's it's cheap enough for teachers. Probably looks like crap though.

I'm not a golfer, but I've done some workout there and I think the course looks fairly nice, asthetically. The setting is fairly secluded (though not actually remote) so that's nice too.

The only spoiler might be it's close proximity to a small arms firing range. You can hear the gunfire (not too loud) in the background somedays, but that shouldn't be an issue on weekends.

No clue as to who to get on the course, nor do I recall the directions to get there. Can't find a website either.

edit: strike that here you go:
http://ima.korea.army.mil/area2/sites/installations/sungnamgolf.asp
That has contact info.

Since I am not a GI, nor do I know any I dont know how I will be able to get on the course. If any soldiers want to play, I will pay for the beers afterwords.

I think civilians can probably get on the course

It would be worth looking into

Most of the U.S. military bases have courses. Osan/Kunsan/Dague. Hook up with some military people to get you signed onto the course. Very inexpensive to play. How do you meet them? Call the golf course directly and speak with the club manager and tell him what you want...he'll hook you up with the golfers.
Base operator for Youngsan....02-7913-1113 and also ask for the operator in Osan/Kunsan and Dague and call them for the course number. Different numbers for all areas.
Any korean run golf course will cost you...a ______ and a ________!!
Other than that..you are stuck at the korean courses.

Yes, including perhaps most famously this one, located just outside of the JSA.
