The Forest Course at Alpensia Troon Golf and Country Club occupies mountainous terrain in Pyeongchang, a region in South Korea's Gangwon Province that gained international recognition as host of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed the course to work with the area's dramatic elevation changes and dense woodland setting, routing holes through corridors of pine and hardwood forest typical of this part of the Korean peninsula. The layout takes advantage of natural slopes and ridgelines, creating a sequence of holes that move through varied topography rather than following a single valley floor. The course reflects Jones's characteristic approach to mountain golf, with strategic bunkering, elevated greens, and tee shots that often require players to account for significant changes in elevation. The Forest Course shares the Alpensia resort property with other recreational facilities developed as part of Pyeongchang's transformation into a year-round destination, though the golf course maintains a separate identity within the forested landscape. The routing provides views across the surrounding mountains, particularly from higher points on the back nine. Alpensia operates under management associated with Troon, the international golf course management company, which influences the maintenance standards and operational approach. The club serves both resort guests and members, with the course accessible to visitors as part of the broader Alpensia resort experience. The Forest Course represents one of several Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designs in South Korea, where his firm has completed multiple projects since the 1990s.
