North Korea is trying its hand at a new forum for diplomacy: the golf course.

In a surprising move, the authoritarian regime is inviting foreign amateur golfers to a tournament at the Pyongyang Golf Course to “develop a friendship with North Korean amateur golfers” through DPRK Tourism, the nation’s official tourism website.

The website hails the course as the “world’s most exclusive,” according to Fox News.

Specifics about the tournament are sparse, but it will be held in either spring or autumn, and visitors will be invited to try attractions like “an underwater golf course, archery ground and boating ground,” per The Telegraph.

Golf is not a popular pastime in North Korea, however.

Simon Cockerell, general manager of Koryo Tours, which organized trips to North Korea before the pandemic, was skeptical about the project’s potential to elevate the country’s golf status.

“Almost nobody in North Korea plays golf and hardly any tourists play when they are there,” he told NK News on Tuesday.

The Pyongyang Golf Course is legendary in North Korean lore for one main reason: former Supreme Leader Kim Jong-il supposedly hit 11 hole-in-ones the first time he picked up a club at the course in 1994.

Kim Jong-un might not have the same proclivity for the sport as his father, however, as he may have used one of his private golf courses to launch a new intercontinental ballistic missile in July.

Since North Korea sealed its borders in January 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, tourism has been practically nonexistent, aside from Russian and Chinese diplomats.

Cockerell told NK News that the opening of the golf course is likely not an indication that the nation is opening all of its borders, but rather that some organizations may be becoming more lenient.

North Korea withdrew from the 2020 Olympics due to COVID-19 concerns, which earned it a ban from the 2022 Games as well.

The nation will likely be eligible to participate in the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France.
