Amber Hills Golf & Resort
Nestled in the picturesque Nham Bien mountain range of Bac Giang Province, Amber Hills Golf & Resort offers golfers a unique blend of challenging play and natural beauty. Formerly known as Yen Dung Resort & Golf Club, the facility underwent a significant transformation in April 2022 under the stewardship of Amber Group, aiming to elevate the golfing experience to international standards.
The resort spans 190 hectares and features two distinct 18-hole courses: the Hillside Course, operational since August 2017, and the upcoming Rock Valley Course, designed in collaboration with renowned golfer KJ Choi and architect Paul Albanese . The terrain's natural undulations, combined with strategic bunkering and water hazards, provide a test for golfers of all skill levels.
Amber Hills has been recognized as “Vietnam’s Most Challenging Golf Course” in both 2019 and 2020, a testament to its intricate design and the unique challenges it presents . Beyond the fairways, the resort offers luxurious accommodations, a spa, and dining options, making it an ideal destination for both golf enthusiasts and leisure travelers.
Course Layout & Design
The course flows naturally along hillsides and valleys, offering elevated tees, narrow doglegs, and multi-tiered greens. Water comes into play on several holes, but the main challenge comes from slope, club selection, and wind conditions.
Signature Holes Include:
-
Hole 10: A spectacular par-5 downhill with panoramic views of Nham Bien Mountain and a risk-reward green guarded by deep bunkers.
-
Hole 15: A par-3 requiring a precise shot to a plateau green with natural rock outcroppings and wind exposure.
World-Class Facilities & Amenities
The clubhouse is modern and open-air, offering panoramic views, locker rooms, a restaurant, and pro shop. The attached resort includes private golf-view villas, spa services, conference rooms, and walking trails. Golfers can warm up at the driving range and short game area before each round.
Host to Prestigious Golf Events
Yen Dung has hosted domestic tournaments and charity events, with growing popularity among golf travelers looking to explore beyond the big cities.
