Sagewood Yeosu Gyeongdo County Club (Geumodo)

Overview: Geumodo is the exact nine-hole course represented by this directory row at Sagewood Yeosu Gyeongdo, an island golf resort in South Jeolla. The official hole guide lists par 36 and nine holes measuring from 112 to 486 metres; those values total 2,952 metres, approximately 3,228 yards. The loop looks across the South Sea and combines open coastal views with pine woodland, water around the greens and several changes of elevation. Its signature character is visual as much as technical: the sea remains present through the round, while the sloping fairways and blind approaches ask for careful positioning.

History: Sagewood Yeosu Gyeongdo opened in 2012 as a 27-hole island golf facility. Orange Golf Design identifies the wider project as a design and construction commission, while the resort now presents Geumodo, Odongdo and Dolsando as distinct nine-hole courses. The ranking source combines Geumodo and Dolsan, but the production directory row is only Geumodo, so its par and yardage are kept to the exact nine-hole routing. Current resort material describes the property as Korea’s first island-style seaside golf destination.

Did You Know? The name Geumodo refers to one of the island courses within the 27-hole resort, not to the entire Sagewood facility. The official hole guide includes a 486-metre par five and a final uphill, blind dogleg, giving the nine-hole loop a surprisingly varied finish despite its compact size.
