Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea (Korean: 잭 니클라우스 골프클럽 코리아, romanized: Jaek Nikarauseu Golpeu Keulleop Koria) in Incheon, South Korea, is the focal point of Songdo IBD's environmentally focused green space program. It is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Nicklaus Design, headed by Jack Nicklaus.[1]
From the back tees, the course exceeds 7,400 yards (6,770 m) and presents a challenge to even the most talented golfers.[2] Within the golf course, there will be a Western-style fairway community, including 179 detached single family villas.[1]
Events
[edit]The club hosted the eleventh Presidents Cup in 2015, the first held in Asia.[3] Before it officially opened, it was the site of a Champions Tour tournament in September 2010, the Posco E&C Songdo Championship, a first for that tour in Asia.[4] A second edition was played in 2011, as the Songdo IBD Championship. The International Crown, an eight-nation team event on the LPGA Tour, is scheduled for 2018 and will be the first held outside the United States.
