Long Bien Golf Course is a meticulously designed 27-hole layout by Nelson & Haworth, conveniently located just south of central Hanoi. Situated on 350 hectares and framed by the scenic Dong Nai River, it stands as one of the most accessible courses from the heart of the city.
The course features Paspalum fairways, tee boxes, and rough, complemented by Tiff Eagle Bermuda grass greens. The maintenance is top-notch, resulting in some of the finest playing surfaces among Hanoi golf clubs.
The course architecture incorporates significant earth mounding and rows of palm trees, enhancing both the challenge and the beauty of the layout. Meandering streams add an additional layer of complexity. While the course measures 6,700 yards from the blue tees, it prioritizes accuracy over distance, with out-of-bounds areas and deep fairway bunkers strategically placed on many holes. Elevated greens also place a premium on effective chipping.
Among the standout holes is the short par-5 fifth, which offers a great scoring opportunity with a well-placed drive. Hole 6, a dogleg left par-4, is particularly challenging, especially when played into the wind. A carefully placed tee shot is key to navigating this hole successfully.
The clubhouse is among the most expansive and well-appointed in Hanoi, featuring luxurious, brightly-lit locker rooms equipped with full-size lockers for both members and visitors. Additional amenities include a full-service spa and massage area, ideal for post-round relaxation or for non-golfers to enjoy. The Pro shop is adequately stocked to meet most golfers' needs, and the main restaurant offers a range of delectable local and international dishes.
The staff and caddies at Long Bien are proficient in both English and the nuances of golf, making it an excellent choice for international visitors. Unique to Long Bien, the all-male caddie team is equipped with range finders to assist golfers with precise distance measurements.
The course is illuminated by floodlights for those who prefer afternoon rounds, and although it's walkable, green fees include golf carts for added convenience. Overall, Long Bien Golf Course offers an enjoyable day of golf in Hanoi, complete with excellent facilities and top-notch service.
