FAQ 1. Can I Play Golf Alone in Korea? Does ONEON Match Solo Golfers?
In many countries, booking a tee time alone is quite normal. You show up, get paired with whoever is available, and enjoy your round.
In Korea, the culture is very different.
Most golf courses in Korea still operate on a “4 players per tee time” model. This means:
Courses rarely accept 1–2 player bookings directly
Walk-ins are uncommon and often not guaranteed
You usually need a full group ready before you book
For solo golfers, expats, or business travelers, this becomes a real barrier. You might have time, money, and motivation to play — but no one to play with.
That’s exactly the problem ONEON golf app is built to solve.
Why solo golf is tricky in Korea
Here are a few reasons solo play isn’t simple here:
Operational structure: Courses want full utilization of each tee time (4 players).
Cultural expectation: Golf is often seen as a group activity — friends, business partners, or family.
Lack of systems: Most courses don’t have a built-in matching system for 1–2 players.
So even if you’re flexible and open to meeting new people, the infrastructure to support that has been weak.
What ONEON does differently
ONEON acts like an AI-based golf join app in Korea.
Instead of you trying to find three more players, the app:
Lets you register as 1, 2, 3, or 4 players
Uses AI golf matching to fill the remaining spots
Pairs you with compatible golfers based on:
skill level
preferred pace of play
budget range
age & style preferences
available tee time and course
Think of it as a smart layer between you and the tee sheet.
You don’t need to know anyone in Korea.
You don’t need to text in group chats or join complicated Kakao open chat rooms.
You simply say:
“I want to play on Saturday morning, around this area, with people like this.”
…and ONEON does the rest.
Safety & comfort for solo golfers
For many international users, safety and comfort matter as much as logistics.
ONEON supports this by:
Showing basic profile info of your teammates
Allowing rating and feedback after rounds
Matching based on mutual preferences (for example, some users prefer quieter rounds, others like friendly conversation)
So it’s not just about finding any partner; it’s about finding a good fit.
In short
Yes, you can play golf alone in Korea —
But realistically, you’ll need a tool like ONEON to help you find golf partners and complete a 4-player team.
If you’re a solo golfer in Korea, try:
