Kings Course is the modern centerpiece of BRG Kings Island Golf Resort, set among Dong Mo Lake west of Hanoi. Jack Nicklaus II and Nicklaus Design created 18 regulation holes with broad fairways, strategic bunkering and water in play, then added a dramatic 19th par-3 from an elevated tee to an island green. The course works as a strong Hanoi opening round before the route moves toward Ha Long Bay.

FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club sits on elevated ground above Ha Long City, where the course opens toward the limestone karsts and water of Ha Long Bay. Schmidt-Curley Design routed a compact par-71 test that puts a premium on shot placement and turns the bay panorama into part of the round. Its attached FLC resort setting makes it a natural anchor for the Ha Long Bay portion of the journey.

PGA Silk Path Dong Trieu is a Nick Faldo-designed golf destination in the rugged landscape of Quang Ninh, northeast of Hanoi. The 27-hole facility combines an 18-hole championship course with a 9-hole academy course, using elevation changes, pine forest and sculpted greens to create a more strategic finish to the Northern Vietnam route. The property opened in early 2025 following its 2024 build-out.

What to Expect at Vietnam

Why visit

Vietnam rewards golfers who want a cultural journey as much as a sequence of rounds. Begin in Hanoi, where BRG Kings Island Golf Resort sits amid the lakes west of the city. From there, the trip moves toward Ha Long Bay and Quang Ninh: FLC Ha Long Bay plays high above the limestone karsts, and Silk Path Dong Trieu brings a modern Faldo Design course to a quieter, more rural finish. Between rounds, this route has room for Hanoi's food and history, Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba, and the landscapes around Ha Long Bay.

Accommodations

Plan a city-hotel stay in Hanoi, followed by a resort or bay-area base in Ha Long Bay and Quang Ninh. JEL can build the stays and transfers around the final sequence of rounds and experiences.

Resort amenities

Vietnam is a country-wide golf region, with the Northern Vietnam trip experience built around Hanoi's urban hotel and dining base, followed by bay-area resorts and private-driver travel through Quang Ninh.

  • Private-driver transfers
  • Hanoi city hotels
  • Ha Long Bay resort stays
  • Local guides and cultural touring
  • Caddie service
