Heron Lake Golf Club

Heron Lake Golf Club (also known as Dam Vac Golf and Country Club), is located just 45 kilometers from Hanoi city, in Vinh Phuc province. This is an 18-hole masterpiece of Pacific Coast Design – the same architect as the Black Mountain Golf Club in Hua Hin, Thailand. 

True to its name, Heron Lake Golf Club is set amidst wildlife areas, bringing a chance for golfers to witness the native heron birds during their rounds. Water hazards appear on most holes with extensive greenside bunkers adding more challenges to the game. Numerous evergreen and palm trees provide not only a breathtaking landscape but also a challenge to the mental abilities of golfers.

Thanh Lanh Golf Club

Thanh Lanh Golf Club, or Serena Valley Resort & Golf Club, also located in Vinh Phuc province, is an 18-hole design by Sir Nick Faldo, who skillfully incorporated the natural terrain of the lake and mountain in a layout.

Here, you can experience numerous distinct sections, from hillside to links-style golf. Spreading over 7,000 yards, Thanh Lanh Golf Club includes 5 sets of tees with the finishing hole being the most striking. You will play along the lake’s shoreline with a gorgeous mountain backdrop.

FLC Ha Long Golf Club

Dream of playing golf amidst the background of Ha Long Bay, the FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club is a ca n’t-miss destination. This is one of the newest and most high-qualified golf courses in Vietnam with a scenic view over the magnificent limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay.

This 18-hole par 71 course features Paspalum turf from tees to greens, ensuring a wonderful course layout for every shot.

There are 4 holes directly facing Ha Long Bay, while others play around valleys and cliffs. The 8th and 12th are considered the most picturesque ones and often compared to the breathtaking 7th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Club in California.
