The Meadow Course at Alpensia Troon Golf and Country Club sits in the mountainous Pyeongchang region of Gangwon Province, an area that gained international recognition as host of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed the course as part of the larger Alpensia Resort development, which combines year-round recreational facilities with golf in a high-altitude alpine setting. The routing takes advantage of the natural terrain variations characteristic of this part of South Korea's Taebaek Mountains, where elevation changes and seasonal weather patterns influence playing conditions throughout the year. Jones's design philosophy typically emphasizes strategic options and environmental integration, and the Meadow Course reflects these principles within its mountain valley context. The layout moves through varied topography that includes both open meadow areas and more enclosed, forested sections. Players encounter elevation changes that affect club selection and shot-making, while the mountain backdrop provides a distinctive visual setting that separates this course from Korea's more urban or coastal layouts. The Alpensia complex serves both resort guests and members, with the golf facilities complementing the property's ski slopes, conference centers, and hospitality venues. The course operates within the constraints of Korea's seasonal climate, with a playing season that runs from spring through autumn. As part of a destination resort rather than a traditional private club, the Meadow Course attracts golfers visiting the Pyeongchang area for its combination of mountain recreation and the region's growing reputation as a sports and leisure destination.
