BRG Kings Island Golf Resort – Kings Course
Unveiled in 2018 as the latest addition to Vietnam’s most iconic golf resort, the Kings Course at BRG Kings Island Golf Resort is a bold, modern layout designed by none other than Jack Nicklaus II. Located just a 45-minute drive from Hanoi in the lush Dong Mo area of Son Tay, the course delivers a premier championship experience that celebrates power, precision, and panoramic scenery.
While the Lakeside and Mountain View courses have long established Kings Island’s reputation, the Kings Course elevates the club’s offering to new heights. With 18 holes spanning nearly 7,300 yards from the back tees, the course is a visual and strategic masterpiece that caters to professionals and serious amateurs. Built with input from Nicklaus Design, the course weaves through natural wetlands, woodlands, and undulating terrain, making every hole a tactical challenge.
True to the Nicklaus style, the Kings Course features large, undulating greens, wide fairways flanked by bold bunkers, and risk-reward holes that invite aggressive play. Water hazards come into play on several holes, but intelligent design gives players ample room for creativity and strategic decision-making.
The signature clubhouse for the Kings Course is equally impressive, with a grand colonial-inspired design, high-end locker rooms, private lounges, a premium pro shop, and fine dining facilities. For international golfers, business elites, or passionate local players, the Kings Course is now considered one of the finest in all of Vietnam.
Course Layout & Design
Designed by Jack Nicklaus II, the Kings Course is a true championship venue measuring 7,268 yards (par 72). The layout emphasizes flexibility, providing multiple teeing options for various skill levels. Fairways are wide but strategic, greens are large and sloped, and bunkering is prominent but purposeful—challenging but fair for those who play smart.
Signature Holes Include:
-
Hole 10: A classic risk-reward par 4 that tempts long hitters to drive the green but punishes any misjudged shot with water and deep bunkers.
-
Hole 17: A par-3 over a scenic lake with winds that shift constantly, demanding a precise shot into a well-protected green.
World-Class Facilities & Amenities
