[Yangpyeong=Kang Byeong-koo] The Star Hue Golf & Resort in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, host venue of the 2026 Sh Suhyup Bank MBN Ladies Open, is widely regarded as one of the KLPGA Tour’s premier mountain-style courses, combining breathtaking natural scenery with a demanding level of difficulty.

Viewed from above, The Star Hue Golf & Resort is surrounded by dense forests and rolling ridgelines that form a natural backdrop around the clubhouse and golf course. Nestled harmoniously within the landscape, the property resembles a hidden garden deep in the mountains, leaving a lasting impression on both players and spectators.

Yet The Star Hue is far more than a beautiful destination.

The championship course features significant elevation changes and numerous blind holes, requiring precise distance control and strategic course management. In particular, the accuracy of a player’s tee-shot landing area often determines the level of difficulty for the next shot, making decision-making and experience critical factors throughout the round.

The complex undulations around the greens present another challenge.

Success here depends not only on power but also on refined iron play, precise putting, concentration, and the ability to visualize and interpret the course effectively. These qualities are expected to play a decisive role in determining the eventual champion.

As the tenth event of the 2026 KLPGA Tour season, the Sh Suhyup Bank MBN Ladies Open will unfold amid the unique characteristics of The Star Hue Golf & Resort.

On a stage shaped by nature itself, players will once again write a new chapter in the story of championship golf.
