Course Report
The course gets its name from the famous Jeju Teddy Bear Museum, and much of its branding playfully features teddy bear imagery throughout the resort.
About
Teddy Valley Golf & Resort, designed by David Dale of Golfplan, features 18 parkland-style holes nestled amid the beautiful scenery of Jeju Island, with wide fairways and large greens. The resort is celebrated for its tranquil setting, lush vistas of Hallasan and Sanbangsan mountains, and a challenging layout that appeals to both local and international golfers.
Caddie Tip
Take advantage of the extensive caddie services. Be particularly cautious of approach shots when greens are firm, especially on the back nine where swirling Jeju breezes often affect ball flight. Trust your caddie’s advice on reading tricky undulations, and be mindful of shifting winds across the open fairways.
The Main Challenge
Prevailing winds and open fairways can make club selection difficult and demand accurate driving. Many holes require careful placement off the tee due to well-positioned bunkers and strategic green contours. The closing stretch is particularly tough when the winds shift, especially for longer hitters tempted to cut corners.
The Good
Golfers rave about Teddy Valley’s peaceful ambiance and sweeping mountain scenery, with wide fairways framed by volcanic rock outcrops. The modern resort, attentive staff, and unique blend of challenging holes and playable layouts make this a favorite for both vacationers and serious players seeking a complete resort experience.
The Not So Good
Some guests note the limited food options outside the clubhouse, requiring a drive to Seogwipo or Jeju City for dining. Wet weather can make the course play soft, and a few reviewers mention a lack of practice bunkers and greater exposure to wind than ideal during some seasons.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The par 4 18th hole finishes dramatically with sweeping panoramic views of the Jeju landscape. With a well-bunkered landing area and an elevated green guarded by water on the right, it demands strategic placement off the tee and a precise approach. The closing hole is both beautiful and challenging, providing a memorable end to the round.
Clubhouse
Amenities include a spacious locker room, pro shop, elegant restaurant with panoramic course views, banquet spaces, and sauna. The property also features a small hotel, a convenience store, and a gift shop. The overall atmosphere is contemporary, clean, and golfer-friendly.
