Vinpearl Golf Club Phu Quoc

Two nine-hole loops named for famous places in Vietnam (Nha Trang and Phu Quoc) play out and back from the central clubhouse in different directions. The holes on Nha Trang and Phu Quoc nines are interwoven and play mostly through forested areas.

The signature hole is the third on the Phu Quoc Course. This very short par-3 plays to an almost island green that juts into the surrounding wetlands. It is very scenic, but it could do with more challenge at only 145 yards from the blue tees. Better golfers are best advised to return a tee to take full advantage of the hole. Other memorable holes are the finishing holes on the Nha Trang and Phu Quoc Courses. Both are long par-4s that play into prevailing winds and to the well-guarded greens. At 439 and 418 yards, respectively, par’s or even bogeys are good scores.

Facilities include small clubhouse and locker room structures fashioned out of local materials and made to blend in with the rural settings. They are adequate for their purpose as most golfers will stay at a nearby hotel. A grass driving range and chipping/putting greens are available for golfers to use before their rounds. Surprisingly, there are no on-course kiosks, so stocking up on beverages before heading out to each nine is a must.

Service is outstanding, caddies are well-trained, and most staff speak excellent English to ensure an enjoyable day at Vinpearl Phu Quoc Golf.
