Published
Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do is preparing a new sports event to revitalize local tourism. The county announced that it plans to hold a large-scale park golf tournament on November 6, 2026, on the sandbar of the Seomjingang River in front of Pyeongsari Park in Agyang-myeon.
This tournament was planned to promote Hadong-gun's beautiful natural environment nationwide and to inject vitality into the local economy. A key feature of this event is the use of the Seomjingang River's expansive sandbar rather than a typical grass course.
Park golf has recently gained significant popularity in Korea, particularly among middle-aged and older generations. Through this tournament, Hadong-gun plans to attract park golf enthusiasts to the region and link the event with various tourism programs, allowing visitors to explore major local attractions during their stay.
An official from Hadong-gun explained that this event will serve as an opportunity to promote Hadong's natural scenery beyond being just a sports competition. The county intends to develop specific plans for course construction and safety management to ensure the success of the tournament.
Much attention is focused on whether this park golf tournament will provide new enjoyment for tourists visiting Hadong-gun and have a positive impact on the local tourism industry.
