About this course

The Lake Course at ASIAD Country Club occupies rolling terrain in Gijang, a coastal district northeast of Busan, South Korea's second-largest city. Perry O. Dye designed the course as part of a larger club development that served the 2002 Asian Games, from which the facility takes its name. Dye, son of noted architect Pete Dye, brought his family's characteristic design approach to the Korean landscape, working with the natural topography to create strategic interest and visual variety across the routing. The course takes its name from water features that figure prominently in the design, with several holes playing along or across lakes that serve both aesthetic and strategic purposes. The terrain provides elevation changes that offer views toward the surrounding mountains and, from higher points, glimpses of the East Sea coastline. Dye's design incorporates the family's signature elements—railroad ties, mounding, and strategic bunkering—adapted to the Korean setting and the expectations of the domestic golf market. ASIAD Country Club serves both local members and visiting golfers in the Busan metropolitan area, where golf remains a popular pursuit despite limited land availability. The facility includes additional amenities typical of Korean country clubs, where dining and social functions hold significant importance alongside golf. The Lake Course represents one of several international-architect designs in the region, part of South Korea's expansion of golf infrastructure in the decades following rapid economic development.
