Cheongsong-gun in North Gyeongsang Province announced Monday that it has completed the Gaekju Park Golf Course, a 27-hole facility.

The course, located in Jinan-ri, Jinbo-myeon, is the first 27-hole park golf course in Cheongsong and includes an office and other supporting facilities.

A completion ceremony was held that day alongside the 4th Cheongsong County Mayor's Park Golf Competition, with residents celebrating the course's inaugural round.

The name "Gaekju" comes from the title of a historical novel by Kim Ju-young, a writer from Jinbo-myeon.

Cheongsong-gun plans to close the facility temporarily from Wednesday through July 31 for an inspection before officially opening it on Aug. 1.

"It is meaningful to unveil Cheongsong's first 27-hole Gaekju Park Golf Course, which residents have long awaited," county chief Yun Gyeong-hui said. "We will develop it into the finest park golf course in the country, where people of all ages can enjoy sports amid pristine nature."
