How to Book a Tee Time in Korea – 한국에서 티타임 예약하는 방법


Thinking of playing golf in Korea but unsure how to book a tee time?

You're not alone — the reservation system here can be confusing, especially for foreigners.


Most courses are member-only or fully booked months in advance.

But don’t worry — as a former caddie with 10 years of experience, I’m here to guide you through it.

1. Can Foreigners Book Tee Times in Korea?


Yes, you can — especially at public golf courses.

But most booking platforms are in Korean, and many require Korean ID or a Korean phone number.

That said, there are ways to book without those.

2. Main Ways to Book a Tee Time


① Through a Golf Booking Service (Recommended)


Foreign-friendly booking agents offer English support and full packages.


Examples: Play Golf in Korea, Korea Tee Time, and private booking agencies.


Benefits: Easy communication, car service, golf + hotel deals.



② Korean Apps (XGOLF, KakaoGolf, Barogo, etc.)


Popular with locals but not easy for foreigners to use.


Most require Korean phone verification and local ID.


You might need help from a Korean friend or colleague.



③ Phone Booking


Some public courses accept phone reservations.


However, this usually requires Korean fluency.

3. Foreigner-Friendly Courses You Can Try


Solmoro Country Club


Dream Park (Incheon)


Ladena Golf Club (via agents only)



These courses are more familiar with foreign guests and sometimes offer limited English service.

4. Pro Tips from a Former Caddie


Consider booking golf + hotel packages to make it easy.


Booking with a Korean partner simplifies everything.


Use KakaoMap or Naver Map to search for “Public Golf Course” and find links to websites or phone numbers.

Korea’s golf scene is exciting, but reservations can be tricky.

With the right tips, you'll not only get a tee time — you'll have an amazing golf day, too.
