Like the poster said above, you might want to try screen golf. They have them in some "Fitness Centers" as well. Plus, if you need to join a gym, join one with screen golf and get a discount with your membership.

Usually you have to go out to Gyeongi-do to play golf at some affordable rates, it's expensive in Seoul. I went one time to a simple driving range with a colleague. Don't remember how much it cost, but it was pretty expensive for what you were getting.

A bit aNal are we?

This is an informal discussion board. Hey you might be a teacher, but no need for a grammar Nazi here. Blatant English errors sure, but capital letters? Come on now...

I don't know anything about golf, but I play tennis in Seoul. To rent a court it can cost anywhere between 10,000 to 50,000 won for an hour. But if you are a woman and wear minimal clothing the ajosshi's at the tennis club will let you play them for free and give you free lessons. Also, a lot are clay courts and some have specific rules about the shoes you have to wear. No running shoes, they must be tennis shoes.

Huff Daddy, how did I do? I tried real hard with the capitalization.

Hey Mm, know of any tennis courts near Haebangcheon/Itaewon area?

(Nice capitals, eh? Lol)

[mm]

I've never played in Haebongchon/Itaewon but I've seen Tennis courts near Namsan mountain, closer to Huam Dong. I've been told secondhand that they are a little bit expensive to rent, but I don't know about that for sure. Maybe an Itaewon expert could clear this up.

[dalem]

i've seen badminton courts there, but not tennis. I am not exactly a tennis expert... are they the same court?

[mm]

they aren't the same court. but i have seen tennis courts in that area, i just don't know exactly where they are. where are all the itaewon know it alls???

[DeMayonnaise]

There's a par 3 golf course near me that's open to the public and costs about 20,000 - 30,000 won to play (don't remember exactly, but I do remember it wasn't too expensive.

There's also a tennis court about 10 yards from my house.

Ah the joys of living in the boonies...

[dalem]

where in the boonies are you?
