Lavieestbelle Golf & Resort (Old)

Overview: The Old Course at Lavieestbelle Golf & Resort is an 18-hole public layout in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. Ahn Moon Hwan is credited in the course record used for this profile, and the Korean Golf Association rating document lists the black tees at 7,126 yards, par 72. The design combines open, sandy playing corridors with water, forest and broad views, giving the course a hybrid identity that sits between a modern links-inspired landscape and Korean resort golf. The fairways can invite an assertive line, but the changing relationship between sand, water and the putting surfaces makes exact distance control important.

History: Lavieestbelle opened in 2015 as part of a larger golf and resort development. The Old clubhouse uses the Korean hanok concept, connecting the modern golf destination to traditional architectural forms. The resort later added accommodation and a second Dunes course, making the property a broader stay-and-play destination rather than a single isolated 18-hole venue. The Old course remains the more established identity in the ranking record and is often described through its combination of water, sky, forest and earth.

Did You Know? The name La Vie est Belle means “life is beautiful,” a phrase the operating group uses to express the resort’s idea of finding value and beauty in nature. The Old clubhouse extends that theme through a hanok-inspired design, so the architectural story continues beyond the playing corridors.
