THE GOLF COURSES

SKY LAKE GOLF CLUB - SKY Course - Hanoi, Vietnam

Sky Lake Golf Hanoi Vietnam.JPG

The Sky Course is the work of Bori Golf Design Ltd and lead designer Mr. Ahn Moon Hwan. The natural beauty of the landscape has been used to create continuity and consistency throughout the design. Subtle use of different elevations and aspects create a true and honest test of golf.

The signature hole of the Sky course is the 15th, aptly named Dien Bien Phu (a historic vietnamese battle) due to it’s topography and difficulty. This hole is a true risk and reward experience that promises to become one of the more famous holes in the region.

VINPEARL HAI PHONG - Lake Course - Hai Phong, Vietnam

Vinpearl Hai Phong Vietnam.JPG

(Alternate Course for Halong Bay)

Vinpearl Golf Hai Phong is situated in the heart of the beautiful island of Vu Yen, located just off the city of Hai Phong - the third largest city in Vietnam and northern Vietnam’s most important seaport, positioned 120 km from Hanoi. Set amid the 872 hectares of Vingroup’s Vu Yen Island Ecotourism Area and crisscrossed by three rivers, in addition to the 36-hole championship golf course, the island features eco-villas, an ecological park, amusement complex and a cable car system stretching 1.5 kilometres to link the mainland and the Island.

Designed by IMG Worldwide, the 36-hole championship golf course features two distinct courses “Lakeside” and “Marshland”, challenging players of all levels. Lakeside, a scenic resort-style course with a plethora of interconnected lakes, coming into play on 12 holes with generous fairways and large undulating greens. Marshland, a shot-makers golf course specifically designed to be in harmony with the carefully preserved open wetlands, has been established with a different character to complement its companion.

FLC Halong Bay - Halong, Vietnam

FLC Grand Ha Long Bay Vietnam.JPG

FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club opened for play in August 2017. the 18-hole championship Schmidt-Curley designed layout offers stunning scenic ocean views over the famous UNESCO world heritage site. The golf course sits above the old town of Ha Long Bay and overlooks the spectacular limestone karst-riddled bay. The excitement builds as you drive up the winding road leading to the massive complex before arriving in the valet area in front of the property. A Golf Bag baggage system whisks your clubs to the caddy/cart reception area as you go into the club house and grab a locker in the expansive locker room area.

From the moment that you tee off, you know you are in for a treat, and the course itself is a difficult layout winding through canyons and hills. You are definitely challenged on this 6800 yard course no matter your handicap. And then you reach the Par 3 and forget all about golf as you see the famous halong bay in the background.

Again the Caddy service is great, and once you finish the round, head to the hotel and make use of all the spa facilities.

Vattanac Golf Resort - Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Vattanac Golf Phnom Penh Cambodia.JPG

Measuring over 7,500 yards, the golf course has unique design features taking inspiration from the Bayon temple at Siem Reap, as well as actual on-course replicas of other pre- Angkorian structures, including the Preah Vihear and Angkor Wat, one of the largest religious monuments in the world. The design sets the innovation standard for golf in Cambodia, offering a unique combination of culture, leisure, and golf.

The course is the latest offering from Sir Nick Faldo in Cambodia and the East Course is set to thrill golfers visiting the Capital of Cambodia.

ANGKOR GOLF CLUB - Siem Reap, Cambodia

Faldo course.jpg

The beauty of Cambodia lies in the richness of its traditions. The elegance of golf comes from its strategy, honor and skills. Designed by 3 time Masters Champion and 3 time Open Champion Sir Nick Faldo, the Angkor Golf Resort epitomises these essential characteristics and a unique tradition begins at one of the world’s great new golf destinations.

Angkor Golf Resort provides all level of golfers a challenging and fair test of golf. The par 72, 7279 yard championship course has seashore paspallum grass throughout the course allowing for an exceptional playing surface and enjoyable round. Practice facilities include a 300 yards driving range, with target greens and practice putting green and chipping area.

TAN SON NHAT GOLF CLUB - Ho Chi Minh City

This fantastic 36 hole complex is located next to the runways of the International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, and was designed by Nelson and Hayworth. 36 holes of world class golf is set up in 4 interchangeable loops of 9 with the impressive clubhouse set in the middle. The shaping and sculpting of the course was an immense job considering the surrounding area is completely flat and moved some 1.5 million cubic meters of earth. Ron Leck, the lead shaper deserves a lot of credit for this magnificent course. Water is in play on most holes and second shots into the true rolling greens are the key to scoring well here.

The caddies are helpful and polite, and as opposed to most clubs in Asia, here the caddies are all male. The impressive clubhouse boasts wonderful facilities including hot tubs, steam baths, showers and grooming areas. The Restaurant has an extensive buffet, and is a wonderful way to wind down after the round.

TWIN DOVES GOLF RESORT - Binh Duong, Vietnam

Twin doves golf Vietnam.JPG

Twin Doves Golf Resort is a world-class private golf club within a resort and villa estate that consists of a 27-hole international championship golf course. The three loops of nine are called Luna, Mare and Sole and can be played interchangeably.

The Luna course provides a scenic environment characterized by numerous small hills, and natural forests, incorporating all the natural elements of the terrain as challenging hazards. The Mare course has its holes flanked by creeks and trees and demands accurate shots since the greens are multi-tiered and guarded by water hazards. The Sole Course plays around a blue lake featuring island greens and beach bunkers, and is probably our favourite of the three visually.

Regardless of the routing, the service and maintenance quality is sublime and a real treat for golf in Vietnam.

Alternative golf courses

Occasionally one of our Golf courses will be hosting an event, will be closed for maintenance, or could be booked out for a corporate day. Should that be the case we have selected some other courses to be played as an alternative. The courses all meet the same stringent selection criteria as our main courses, and are also beautiful courses to play.

In the case of Force Majeur, Pandemics or travel bans, such as the 2020 Covid situation, clients will be offered either travel credit or a refund without penalty provided the client has not cancelled themselves. In the case of a client cancellation prior to any travel bans being announced the normal cancellation penalties apply.

Child Policy: All guests under the age of 18 are to be in a stateroom with an adult, and must remain supervised at all times, and their safety is the responsibility of the accompanying adult(s). Children between the ages of 4- 10 at the time of embarkation may share a stateroom with 2 adults provided the child is able to share the bed with the adults – no additional bed will be provided. Please be aware that balcony staterooms of any kind may be unsafe for small children if left unsupervised. Children 4-7 years old are not recommended on any programme and on our Africa programme, due to safety precautions, there is a minimum age limit of 12 years old, unless otherwise agreed upon by AmaWaterways. LGT Golf does not provide child specific programmes or child-minding facilities. Children may join the golfing programs on the condition that they possess a valid handicap of - 45.

Disabled Participants: Any disability requiring special attention must be reported to AmaWaterways at the time of booking. AmaWaterways will make reasonable efforts to accommodate the special needs of disabled cruise participants, but is not responsible for any denial of services by carriers, hotels, restaurants, or other independent suppliers. Tour buses are not equipped with wheelchair ramps and stateroom doors are not wide enough to allow access by standard wheelchairs. Wheelchairs and walkers cannot be carried on tour buses, due to space limitations. Wheelchair passengers should be aware of these limitations. For safety reasons, passengers in wheelchairs cannot be carried on ramps in ports where the ship is at anchor. We regret that we cannot provide individual assistance to a tour member for walking, getting on/off tour busses and other transportation vehicles, or other personal needs. A qualified travel companion must accompany travellers who need assistance.

Pregnancy: For the safety of parent and child, and depending on various circumstances, passengers who are at an advanced stage of pregnancy (after 5 months) may be subject to restrictions or exclusion concerning their ability to travel and/ or board a ship. Please inform us immediately, so we can assess your personal circumstances and possible accommodation.

Please also ensure that you have a valid insurance covering you for any medical treatment that you may need on your journey. AmaWaterways does not employ doctors or nurses on their vessels.

You are responsible for any and all charges resulting in either visiting the medical services, or their visiting you.
