The Vientiane Golf Course is laid out on basically flat topography. Humanmade mounding, water features, intricate sharp-lipped bunker complexes provide the main challenges. Mature trees, flowering plants, and red-grass water areas from most of the holes. The all Paspalum grassed course ensures good playing conditions year round. At 7,538 yards from back tees, Long Vien plays a plays very long par-72.
The East Course plays through a series of lakes and forested areas. Water hazards protect greens, and club selection is important when hitting approach shots. The West Course is more open but has more bunkers and undulated fairways.
