Jeju Special Self-Governing Province announced that the ‘Korean Polo Country Club’ will open part of the international-sized polo field that has been under construction in Gujwa-dong Haengwon-ri. In celebration of the opening of the polo club on June 12, the Korean Polo Country Club will host an international polo game on either June 12 or June 13 with 8 players from the United Kingdom, Australia, Argentina, the Philippines and Korea.

Of the total 213,000㎡ area, a portion of the playing field (180m long by 300m wide—roughly six soccer fields) will be opened. In addition to the playing field, other facilities at the polo club are being constructed, including an indoor arena (45×90ｍ), a club house and stables.

Using a KRW 59.3 billion grant from sponsors in Singapore, the Korean Polo Country Club continues to expand their facilities and continue construction on their polo field, indoor horse-riding track, accommodations (63 guestrooms), auxiliary polo arena, swimming pool and tennis court. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2011 or 2012.
