Lotte Sky Hill Country Club - Jeju

About this course
Lotte Sky Hill Country Club sits on the southern slopes of Jeju Island, South Korea's volcanic resort destination known for its dramatic terrain and ocean views. Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed the facility with two eighteen-hole courses—the Sky Course and the Hill Course—that work with the island's natural topography of rolling hills, lava rock formations, and coastal winds. The Hill Course occupies terrain that moves through elevation changes characteristic of Jeju's landscape, where designers must route holes around existing rock outcroppings and integrate the volcanic geology into play. Jones's design approach on Jeju emphasizes strategic bunkering and green complexes that require careful club selection in the island's variable wind conditions. The Hill Course features holes that climb and descend across the property, offering views toward the coastline and Hallasan, the shield volcano that dominates the island's center. Water features and natural vegetation native to Jeju frame several holes, while the volcanic stone appears both as natural hazard and aesthetic element throughout the routing. Lotte Sky Hill operates as part of the Lotte resort development on Jeju, which includes hotel accommodations and other recreational facilities. The club serves both resort guests and members, reflecting the island's growth as a golf destination for Korean and international visitors. The courses host regional amateur events and corporate tournaments, contributing to Jeju's reputation as one of Asia's concentrated golf markets with multiple resort courses across the island.

Getting there
The journey to Lotte Sky Hill Country Club begins at Jeju International Airport, a compact gateway on the northern shore of South Korea's volcanic island, followed by a striking 45-minute drive south across the island's interior. The route traces the flanks of Hallasan, Korea's highest peak, descending through terraced tangerine groves and black basalt walls before revealing the dramatic southern coastline near Seogwipo. As the road climbs into the hills above the city, the landscape opens to sweeping views of the East China Sea, and the club emerges on its elevated perch - a modern sanctuary suspended between mountain and ocean, where the air carries both the salt of the Pacific and the quiet refinement of Korean resort culture.
