FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club & Resort

FLC Halong Bay Golf Club & Resort, north Vietnam’s dazzling tourism magnet, is about to present another reason to visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed region: a world-class golf course perched above the old town, overlooking the spectacular limestone karst-riddled bay.
Although a site above the city was set aside for a golf course years ago, actually playing golf in such a stunning environment has been, until now, a dream.
But Hanoi-based FLC Group, which is developing golf resorts along Vietnam’s 3260-kilometre coast, is mid-way through building a spectacular 18-hole par-71 course that will be accompanied by a hotel, convention centre and villas for sale.
FLC Golf Links Halong Bay resort’s expected opening date is third quarter 2017. Expectation is already running high among golfers of an unforgettable golf experience.
US-based golf course design company, Schmidt-Curley, which has designed more than 60 courses in Asia in the past 20 years, and fellow American outfit, Flagstick Constructions, is turning a difficult, hilly site into what promises to be the most visually stunning and most accessible golf course in Asia.
With four holes directly facing Halong Bay and others ridging a steep valley, FLC Golf Links Halong Bay will provide something golfers dream about but rarely find: views to die for, playability without being severely penal, a year-round playing climate – all in a bucket-list destination with an abundance of non-golf activities.
