Located just off the southeast coast of South Korea, on Namhae Island, is the South Cape Golf Club, a high-class public course a little over two hours from Busan by road and 40-minutes from Sacheon Airport. Designed by golf course architect Kyle Phillips this 18-hole links-style course is situated along a dramatic seaside cliff providing golfers with scenic views throughout their round.

Although the total length of this par 72 course is quite short by modern standards, at just 6,685-metres from the championship tees, the combination of the difference in topography and numerous obstacles such as the steep cliffs combine to present quite a challenge. South Cape's fairways spread out along the rias coast surrounded by the rocks of the rugged cape which protrudes into the sea, and players can enjoy golfing with a view of the sea decorated with small and large islands.

While links courses are mostly flat elsewhere, South Cape Owners Club has a high hill in the center which gives a three-dimensional feeling and also provides for a versatile layout. The course is also laid out over a vast area of approximately 2,000,000 square meters allowing for fairways that are relatively wide and open.

Along with a Pro shop and caddie service, the club's practice facilities include a driving range and putting green. The modern and stylish clubhouse facilities at South Cape include bar and dining options as well as a fitness center with both a spa and sauna and a magnificent outdoor swimming pool. There is also luxury accommodation on site along with a tea house.
