Chi Linh Star golf course is located
about 70 km away from Hanoi, and is
considered one of the top golf cours-
es in Vietnam and Southeast Asia. Chi
Linh Star covers 325 hectares in the
heart of a beautiful valley with a natural
lake nestled surrounded by green hills.
There are paths around the edge of the
small lake, trees and a hill creating a
poetic view. Chi Linh Star golf course
has 36 holes and meets AAA interna-
tional standards. The greens are cared
for every day. The holes are very chal-
lenging thanks to the hilly terrain.
Weekdays: $86, Weekends and
holidays: $127
Kings’ Island Golf course covers 350
hectares and, as the name suggests, it
is surrounded by water. It includes two
18-hole courses – the Lakeside course
and the Mountain View course. The
lakeside course makes full use of the
natural terrain to create an interesting
round. The Mountain View course has
majestic vistas and offers challenging
play for even professional golfers.
Weekdays: $119/pax. Weekends
and Holidays: $161/pax.
38 km from Hanoi and covering
312 hectares, Phoenix Golf Resort was
built in accordance with international
standards with recognition from the
PGA. In 2007 it held the World Masters
Vietnam Competition with 142 profes-
sional golfers from 27 countries. The
course benefits from the beauty of a
unique landscape. The resort includes
three courses with a total of 54 holes.
Each course was the work of a different
designer - Golf Plan USA, Songho Group
of Korea and M& K Co Japan - hence
each can provide golfers with very dif-
ferent experiences.
Weekdays: $145, Weekends and
holidays: $79
