ガッサン クンターン ゴルフ & リゾート
This course is for advanced players and is located in a hilly area 500 meters above sea level. It is a challenging design that makes the most of the natural terrain. The outer course incorporates many water hazards such as ponds and rivers, while the inner course features many undulating holes with woods and bunkers.
Most of the greens are elevated, so accurate approach shots are required. The bunkers guarding the greens are very deep, so course management is required to avoid hitting them. The scenery of several mountains is wonderful, and combined with the beauty of the overall golf course, it is a beautiful course.

Course Introduction
A long straight par 5. The tee shot is characterized by a narrow landing area with bushes on the left and a river on the right. You will not be able to make par unless you have the distance and accuracy of all three shots. The green is a horseback green with a high center. At the back of the green, there is a famous white bridge, and if you are lucky, you can see a train passing by.
A straight hole with a river on the left and a pond on the right. The landing spot for the tee shot is tight, so long hitters are safer using a fairway wood. The green is highly elevated and the guard bunker on the front right is deep. The official length is 442 yards, but the ground from the back tee has been removed, making it a short middle hole of 352 yards.
A straight, long par 5. The tee shot is strongly uphill, and the second shot is downhill. Curving the tee shot to the left or right increases the chance of the ball being lost, so an accurate shot is required. The second shot is a blind shot, which is a drawback. The third shot is a difficult line downhill from the left foot, towards the green surrounded by bunkers. A creek crosses in front of the green.
