Golf Hotels and Golf Courses - North around Hanoi

King`s Island Golf Resort and Country Club

is the first golf course ever built in North Vietnam. Located in Ha Tay province, in the shadow of Ba Vi Mountain, 45 km outside of Hanoi, it is an exclusive golf and recreational resort. The property includes approximately 350 hectares of rolling landscape located along the shores of Dong Mo Reservoir, incorporating two 18-hole golf courses consisting of Lake Side and Mountain View, club house and all kind of golf facilities.

The two courses have been designed by Robert McFarland around a golf school, the luxury hotel (80 room) and corporate villas. The Resort is also a sports center, horseback riding, tennis, boating and hiking in nearby Ba Vi National Park and Tan Vien (Gently King) Mountain which overlooks the site and from which King's Island gets its name.

The majestic Ba Vi Mountain range and over 1,100 hectares of water surface ensures that the 350 hectare Kings Island Golf Resort & Country Club is one of the most scenic golf destinations in Southeast Asia.

If the lush beauty of the Island, or a beautiful caddie saying "nice putt" doesn't get you to smile, make a lesson appointment with the resident PGA professional Robert Bricknel, an American with a solid sense of humour: he is very happy to live in very good relationship with Vietnamese but reproaches to Alexandre de Rhodes to have written the local language in Roman printing with the French pronounciation !!!

The resort is open to non-members on weekdays, except Saturdays and Sundays reserved for members only

Chilinh Star Golf & Country Club

A second golf resort, Chilinh Star Golf & Country Club, opens 27 holes near Sao Do Town at 48 kms from Hanoi along the road going to Halong Bay.

The course at Chi Linh was designed and is also being constructed by an Australian company, I.G.C.S. (Independent Golf Course Services). The "exceptional piece" of land of 160 hectares on which the course is being constructed around a natural lake of 40 hectares lies within a beautiful valley. The place has already been chosen in the 15th century by Le Dynasty for the Royal Orchard : it is surrounded by rolling forest hills, and nestles beside the large lake complete with rolling creeks and natural water flowing from the surrounding area. 11 holes over 27 have water risks (6 over water and 5 touching water. The resort is supposed to respect the original landscape and conserve for future generations a piece of nature with exceptional features and history.
