Course Report

Sky 72 Golf Club's driving range is the world’s largest, featuring a 300-bay all-round setup that was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records in 2006.

About

Sky 72 Golf Club, located adjacent to Incheon International Airport, is one of the largest golf complexes in Northeast Asia. The Ocean Course was designed by Steve Nicklaus and opened in 2007. This championship layout is known for its strategic bunkering, fast greens, and views of the Yellow Sea, and regularly hosts major women's professional tournaments.

Caddie Tip

Water hazards and bold bunkering come into play on several approach shots, especially on finishing holes. Work closely with your caddie to judge wind direction, especially on exposed holes near the water. Approach the greens with caution—they are typically quick and well-protected.

The Main Challenge

Maintaining scores on blustery days is the biggest challenge, especially on holes exposed to the ocean breeze. Strategic water hazards and penal bunkers around greens require careful club selection and shot planning, rewarding accuracy over power.

The Good

Golfers rave about the Ocean Course’s blend of challenge and accessibility, strategic bunkering, and views of the airport and Yellow Sea. The international tournament pedigree and expansive practice facilities also create a prestigious, dynamic atmosphere suitable for all skill levels.

The Not So Good

Some golfers have noted that weekend pace of play can be quite slow due to high demand, and that windy conditions can make certain holes overly punitive. At times, the course can feel crowded, especially during prime hours.
