Hill De Loci Country Club

Overview: Hill De Loci Country Club is an 18-hole mountain course in Hongcheon, Gangwon, with a published tournament length of 7,423 yards and par 72. The club describes a layout built around the original forest and natural contours of the site, while the design project record gives the equivalent metric length as 6,787 metres. The setting is not treated as a flat canvas: elevation changes, wooded edges and the shape of the existing ground are used to create a course that asks players to read the land as well as the target. The result is a substantial, competition-oriented layout whose identity comes from preserved mountain terrain rather than ornamental resort features.

History: Hill De Loci opened on June 25, 2011, according to the project record reviewed for this profile. It was later converted to public operation on May 18, 2016, a change that helps explain why current descriptions present it as a visitor-accessible course despite its country-club name. The club's current introduction continues to emphasize the original forest and the natural form of the property. Orange Golf Design is associated with the course project, but no reviewed source gives a verifiable individual architect, so the architect field remains blank.

Did You Know? The club's published total is 7,423 yards, making the course's scale immediately clear before the first tee shot. That figure is also given as 6,787 metres in the design record, so both descriptions point to the same long, par-72 mountain layout rather than different course versions.
