one beautiful course near Hanoi. Kings Island was the first
golf course ever built in North Vietnam and is located on
the shores of the Dong Mo Reservoir in Ha Tay Province in
the shadow of Ba Vi Mountain, 50km outside of Hanoi. This
36-hole golf resort has a club house and all the usual facilities
including a international standard restaurant offering Western,
Thai and Chinese cuisine, in addition to traditional Vietnamese
foods pre-pared by experienced chefs. 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.

mountains you can drop down to the coast to The Ocean Dunes

Sofitel
Dalat Palace Golf Club
From Ho
Chi Minh you can travel into the Central highlands of Vietnam
to Dalat "City of Eternal Spring" and "Le Petit
Paris" with its cool crisp air throughout the year.
The oldest course in Vietnam originally built by the French
colonialists in 1922 has now been restored to an 18th hole
course gently blending into the rolling hills of Dalat and
overlooking the Xuan Huong lake now described as one of the
most beautiful courses in Asia"
| At
7,009 yards in length and par 72, Dalat Palace Golf Club
is an enjoyable challenge for golfers of all levels. Low
handicap players will be tested by a series of lakes,
which meander through ten of eighteen holes, as well as
strategically placed bunkers, which will penalise the
miscalculating risk-taker. |
 |
Novice
players will find relief with large accommodating greens normally
left open for run-up approach shots, as well as wide, forgiving
fairways.
Dalat Palace Golf Club features par 3's ranging in length
from 164 to 234 yards and par 5's up to 556 yards. These varied
lengths allow a true examination of your golfing skills, and
require that players use each club in their bag - the hallmark
of a great golf course. Four different tee areas on each hole
allow players to determine their own degree of challenge on
the course.
A full practice area complements the golf course, with an
open 290-yard driving range, a putting green, and practice
bunkers.
