Located just 36km outside of the Hanoi city centre, by a speed boat on the Dong Mo Lake and a short drive, BRG Kings Island Golf Resort is a fantastic destination for all golfers.
Boasting two picturesque courses, the resort's pedigree has been acknowledged by renowned designers across the world who say it's one of the best courses in Vietnam.
Golf Courses at BRG Kings Island Golf Resort
Lakeside Course:
Like the name suggests, the Lakeside Course features water hazards on 14 holes, forcing golfers to carefully choose their clubs when playing up to the surrounding lakes. Measuring at 6516 yards the course may not be the longest that golfers will play but has plenty to test even the low handicappers. The Bermuda grass fairways are naturally in good condition, with the tifdwarf greens immaculate, if not a small target. With undulation and doglegging throughout, the 7th is typical of the courses challenges; the 572 yard par-5 shoots down to a double dogleg, possibly the toughest on the course. If golfers want to play twilight or even evening golf, they can do so on the Lakeside course as it is floodlit.

Mountain View Course:
The younger of the two courses at the resort, Mountainview offers superb views of the surrounding mountains and Vietnamese landscape. The parkland course meanders through forests with most of the fairways lined by a range of trees, ensuring accuracy off the tee. Following a renovation in 2017, the course hits the 7,000 yard make from the back tees and can be quite unforgiving on the longer holes.
