"Naju Nampyeong and Yeongsanpo Park Golf Course Operating Hours Temporarily Adjusted Until the End of August"

Increased Early Morning and Evening Access in Response to Heatwave
On-Site Registration Introduced for Out-of-Town Visitors

Naju City, located in Jeonnam Gwangju Integrated Special City, has adjusted the operating hours of Nampyeong and Yeongsanpo Park Golf Courses and changed the reservation procedure for out-of-town users in response to the ongoing heatwave.

On July 14, Naju City announced that, in order to prevent heat-related illnesses and ensure safe sports activities for users, it has been temporarily adjusting the operating hours and usage procedures of the Nampyeong and Yeongsanpo Park Golf Courses since July 7.

This measure was implemented to reduce outdoor activities during the peak heat hours, thereby lowering the risk of heatstroke and exhaustion.

Naju City will temporarily change the operating hours of Nampyeong and Yeongsanpo Park Golf Courses and the reservation method for out-of-town visitors until August 31 to ensure the safety of users from the summer heatwave.

Accordingly, the operating hours have been changed from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM to 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The city has increased the usage times in the early morning and evening while reducing midday operations to strengthen user safety.

The usage procedure for out-of-town visitors has also been partially changed. Previously, out-of-town users were required to make reservations in advance, but now they may use the facilities through on-site registration on weekdays, excluding weekends and public holidays. The city expects this adjustment to reduce the inconvenience of reservation waiting times and improve the overall convenience for users.

The adjustment of operating hours and the change in reservation procedures will be applied temporarily until August 31. Naju City plans to review the results, user feedback, and future weather conditions comprehensively to decide whether to extend these measures.

Mayor Yoon Byung-tae of Naju stated, "We have adjusted the operating hours and improved the usage procedures with the health and safety of our users from the heatwave as our top priority," adding, "We will continue to actively reflect citizens' opinions to create a safer and more convenient environment for using sports facilities."
