High1 Country Club in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province (par 73, 6,658 yards) is transforming into a festival venue.

The Hi One Resort Women's Open on the Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour, with a total prize fund of 1 billion won, will kick off on July 9, offering a variety of hands-on programs and events for the gallery. A summer golf festival will unfold in the cool atmosphere of Gangwon Province.

This year, the event will go beyond simple spectating to become an experiential golf festival integrating sports, tourism, wellness, and cultural content. Players, spectators, and the local community will come together to enjoy and interact. A gallery plaza will be set up on the lawn in front of the clubhouse. There will be food trucks offering a variety of foods, comfortable rest areas, and pop-up booths where visitors can experience sports sponsored by Hi One Resort firsthand.

In the Golf Zone, there will be a screen putting challenge; in the Soccer Zone, a shooting challenge in collaboration with Gangwon FC; and in the Billiards Zone, a pocket billiards challenge blended with golf. These are hands-on programs that people of all ages can easily participate in. There will also be photo zones, such as a winner’s photo zone and a Gangwon FC locker room photo zone, awaiting family visitors.

On the evenings of July 10 and 11, the Hi One Night Market will be open. From local brand food collaborations to nighttime events, the summer nights of Jeongseon will become even more special. On the final day of the tournament, July 12, visitors can enjoy a barbecue plate presented by Chef Yoo Yongwook, who gained attention for his appearance on Netflix's "Black and White Chef 2."

The event aims to build closer connections between spectators and players. At the first hole, a high-five event will take place as players enter, allowing fans to interact with them. Hi One character "HiHow" plush dolls will be given as gifts on a first-come, first-served basis to young gallery visitors. In addition, a fan signing event featuring top players will be held at Kangwon Land, providing a special opportunity to interact closely with the athletes.

During the tournament, every visitor will receive a scratch lottery ticket. A variety of benefits are offered, including prize draws for golf items, daily necessities, and luxury brand gifts for each round. With interactive events and a wealth of prizes alongside the matches, the gallery experience will be further enhanced.

This year's tournament will feature a large lineup of star players. Kim Min-sol will be attempting to become the first rookie to win four titles in tour history. She commented, "Since this is my first time playing at the Hi One Resort Women's Open, quickly adapting to the course is important," and added, "I will try to create as many birdie opportunities as possible on the par-5 holes."

Defending champion Bang Sin-sil will be aiming for her second win of the season along with her title defense. Kim Min-seon, Ko Ji-won, Park Min-ji, and Jaravee Boonchant (Thailand) are also seeking their second victories. Park Hyun-kyung, who recently won the JLPGA Tour Earth Mondahmin Cup in Japan, is once again aiming for her first KLPGA Tour win of the season.
