Reservation, Fees, and Course Preparation for Gunwi Opel GC’s 18 Holes at the Foot of Palgongsan

Sanul·Yeoul 18 Holes, Gunwi Ophel GC Starting by Reading the Foothills of Palgongsan Mountain

Gunwi Ophel GC is located at 227, Buheung-ro, Sanseong-myeon, Gunwi-gun, Daegu. The official main phone number is 054-380-8000, and the fax is 054-380-8080. The coordinates are 36.116787, 128.682190, and reservations and announcements can be checked on the official website at https://www.ophelgc.com/_Gunwi/.

The course consists of 18 holes divided into the Sanul Course and the Yeoul Course. The official course introduction describes the Sanul Course as a course where you can feel the scenery of Palgongsan Mountain, presenting holes where you must judge both distance and direction, such as an uphill second shot after a downhill tee shot. Therefore, for golfers visiting for the first time, it is more important to be prepared to check the remaining distance and elevation difference of the second shot rather than just the driver's distance.

Part 1, 2, and 3 Tee Times and 10,000 Won Discount for Cyber Members

The official reservation screen distinguishes tee times into Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, and displays the course, number of holes, green fee, and whether a caddie is present for each time slot. According to the basic fee guide, the green fee is 170,000 won on weekdays and 200,000 won on weekends, and a 10,000 won discount applies when signing up as a cyber member. However, this discount may not apply to seasonal events, annual groups, or bad weather rates.

An announcement on February 17, 2025, included information on Part 3 night rounds and no-caddie operations, and information related to Part 3 night rounds is also confirmed in the official main announcement for 2026. Since night tee times can vary depending on the season, weather, and operational status, you should check the actual available time and caddie availability on the reservation screen after selecting a date.

• Basic Green Fee: Weekdays 170,000 won, Weekends 200,000 won
• Cyber Member Discount: 10,000 won based on the reservation screen
• Operation Division: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
• Night/No-Caddie: Need to check conditions by announced date and tee time

How to Calculate by Splitting the 140,000 Won Caddie Fee and 100,000 Won Cart Fee per Team

Costs other than the green fee must be calculated on a per-team basis. According to the official fees, the caddie fee for Part 1, 2, and 3 is 140,000 won per team, and the general cart fee is 100,000 won per team. The no-caddie cart fee is 120,000 won per team, and the golf club rental fee is 50,000 won.

For a general 4-person caddie round, the caddie fee of 140,000 won and the cart fee of 100,000 won per team, totaling 240,000 won, can be divided by 4 people to calculate 60,000 won per person. Adding the basic weekday green fee of 170,000 won makes the simple total per person 230,000 won before discounts, but the actual reservation price varies depending on the fluctuating price per tee time, member price, and event conditions. When playing with 3 people or choosing no-caddie, the burden per person changes, so it is better to confirm the number of team members first.

• Caddie Fee: 140,000 won per team
• General Cart: 100,000 won per team
• No-Caddie Cart: 120,000 won per team
• Rental Clubs: 50,000 won
• Additional costs based on 4-person general caddie: 60,000 won per person

Schedule to Avoid Missing Cancellation Deadlines: 17:00 3 Days Before Weekdays, 4 Days Before Weekends

The Ophel Golf Club reservation guide states that cancellations made by 17:00 3 days before weekday rounds and by 17:00 4 days before weekend/holiday rounds will be processed as normal cancellations. Cancellations or no-shows after that will incur a penalty, and new reservations may be suspended from the time the penalty occurs until the end of the penalty period.

If you cancel arbitrarily after completing the entry procedure but before the game starts, you will be responsible for 50% of the usage fee. If the game is stopped arbitrarily during holes 1–9, a facility use fee of 20,000 won and 75% of the usage fee excluding the facility use fee will be charged, and for stops during holes 10–18, the full usage fee will apply. Conversely, if all team members cannot finish the game due to force majeure such as snow, heavy rain, or fog, the usage fee is calculated by hole according to the number of holes used after excluding the facility use fee.

• Weekday Normal Cancellation Deadline: 17:00 3 days before the round
• Weekend/Holiday Normal Cancellation Deadline: 17:00 4 days before the round
• Arbitrary Cancellation Before Game: 50% of usage fee
• Arbitrary Stop during Holes 1–9: 20,000 won facility use fee and applicable regulated amount
• Arbitrary Stop during Holes 10–18: 100% of usage fee

Registration 40 Minutes Before Tee-off and Access by Car to 227 Buheung-ro

Gunwi Ophel GC is located at 227, Buheung-ro, Sanseong-myeon, so it is more realistic to plan your access by car or chartered vehicle rather than public transportation. The official annual booking guide also requests check-in registration up to 40 minutes before tee-off, so for your first trip, it is safe to set your navigation arrival time at least 50–60 minutes ahead of tee-off.

The official guide also confirms the condition prohibiting the bringing in of outside food. Plan your meals and drinks by inquiring about the operation of the clubhouse and the start/tee house on the reservation date. Since specific information on parking location, parking fees, and wheelchair or stroller routes has not been confirmed, it is better to check directly at 054-380-8000 before departure.

• Road Name Address: 227, Buheung-ro, Sanseong-myeon, Gunwi-gun, Daegu
• Main Phone: 054-380-8000

Early Weekday Tee Times Shown by 2026 Annual Booking Part 1 Rates of 110,000–130,000 Won

The 2026 annual booking group guide offers green fees of 110,000 won for Mon–Fri Part 1 07:00–07:30, 120,000 won for 07:31–07:59, and 130,000 won for 08:00–08:30, based on 3 teams or more. Part 2 is 150,000 won from Mon–Fri, and cart fees are separate. These are group conditions that come with additional requirements, such as operating 8 times or more per year and using banquets or the snack house with a per-person expenditure of 30,000 won or more.

While individual visitors may not have these exact rates applied, they serve as a benchmark for gauging the price difference between early weekday morning tee times and Part 2. Annual bookings will operate from January to December 2026, and information was also provided that entire team cancellations are possible up to 7 days before the round, and partial team cancellations up to 4 days before. Group schedules have different cancellation criteria than individual reservations, so you must clearly ask the reservation manager about the applicable regulations.

Repeated Reviews of Wide Fairways and Changes in Course Assignment

Kakao Golf user evaluations repeatedly mention 'uniform green speed' and 'wide fairways' as positive points. Other reviews mention the view of the course and lake from the clubhouse and the different characters of the Sanul and Yeoul courses. Since these are evaluations based on user experience, grass condition, green speed, water quality, and views may vary depending on the weather and management schedule on the day of the visit.

Kakao Golf reservation information includes a notice that course assignments, such as the Yeoul course, may change depending on on-site conditions. Rather than making a reservation with only a specific course in mind, it is better to check both the course indication on the reservation confirmation screen and the start guide on the day. An 18-hole round generally takes more than half a day including practice, registration, and meals, and if you choose the night Part 3, it is better to decide on the return time and driver in advance.

For Those Designing a Day in Sanseong-myeon, Gunwi-gun Around Golf

Gunwi Ophel GC is not a tourist attraction that you can briefly look around by buying a ticket, but a golf course where you must have a tee time reservation, team composition, equipment, and a means of transportation.

No separate public viewing or waiting programs for companions who do not play golf have been confirmed.

For foreigners using a Korean golf course for the first time, you should inquire in advance at the main phone number about whether reservation confirmation is possible with a domestic phone number, whether English service is available, the grip and composition of rental clubs, and the scope of locker and shower facility use.
