Kumho Resort has significantly enhanced the competitiveness of the Asiana Weihai Country Club and Resort through extensive course maintenance and room renovations.
With the recent reduction in fuel surcharges and China's visa-free entry policy, demand for short-distance overseas travel has increased. Asiana Weihai CC, located about an hour from Incheon Airport, is gaining attention as a nearby golf destination. The 18-hole links course, situated along the northern coastline of Weihai City in Shandong Province, boasts stunning sea views along the coastal cliffs, earning it the nickname "the Pebble Beach of the East." It was recently ranked 28th in the "2024-2025 Top 100 Golf Courses in China," further solidifying its international reputation.
Asiana Weihai CC has recently undergone renovations to both its course and accommodations. The most notable improvement is the enhancement of the course quality. The grass has been replaced with a dense, heat-resistant variety known as "Zoysiagrass (Zoysia matrella)." This durable grass type allows for a reduction of over 50% in pesticide and irrigation water usage, enabling more environmentally friendly management. Additionally, the greens have been standardized to create a uniform and high-quality course environment. Six holes, three on the front and three on the back, have been equipped with night lighting to support stable play even during seasons with early sunsets.
Infrastructure for customer convenience has also seen significant upgrades. From last year until April of this year, new golf carts were introduced in phases. The new carts are equipped with front ultrasonic sensors, wipers, heated seats, and portable fans, ensuring safe and comfortable transportation even in rain or at night.
The accommodation environment has also been upgraded. Some rooms have been reconfigured to include double and twin beds, along with additional sinks for enhanced convenience. Modern amenities such as wireless chargers and automatic bathroom blinds have been implemented. Furthermore, staff who speak Korean have been prioritized for placement at the front desk and restaurant, and Korean language training for caddies is ongoing to continuously improve tailored services for domestic golfers.
A Kumho Resort representative stated, "Asiana Weihai CC is a golf resort that offers excellent accessibility, breathtaking natural scenery, and premium round environments along with accommodation facilities. We will continue to enhance the course, rooms, and overall customer service to elevate our brand value as a premium golf resort."
