BRG Kings Island Golf Resort – Mountainview Course
Set in the picturesque Dong Mo region west of Hanoi, the Mountainview Course at BRG Kings Island Golf Resort is a stunning 18-hole layout that lives up to its name with uninterrupted views of the majestic Ba Vi Mountain range. As the second course built at the resort—following the Lakeside Course—the Mountainview Course offers a distinct experience that emphasizes dramatic elevation changes, natural terrain, and long-range vistas.
Officially opened in 2004, this course was masterfully designed by Pacific Coast Design of Australia. The Mountainview layout is known for its strategic routing through forested landscapes, meandering streams, and gentle slopes, making it one of the most scenic golf courses in Vietnam. Unlike the more water-laden Lakeside Course, Mountainview is shaped by tree-lined fairways and native vegetation that immerse players in nature.
Playing at just over 7,000 yards from the championship tees, the course offers a mix of tight landing zones and open doglegs, requiring precision off the tee and good course management. With wide, rolling fairways and subtly contoured greens, the course is as enjoyable for mid-handicap players as it is demanding for seasoned competitors.
BRG Kings Island’s commitment to world-class hospitality extends to this course as well. Golfers are transported via boat to the island before being shuttled to the Mountainview clubhouse, where amenities include a full-service pro shop, locker rooms, restaurant, and comfortable lounge spaces.
Course Layout & Design
Pacific Coast Design crafted the Mountainview Course to harmonize with the site’s natural topography. Featuring generous fairways and strong bunkering, the course flows through highland terrain with frequent changes in elevation, providing great variety and challenge across the 18 holes.
Signature Holes Include:
-
Hole 5: A downhill par-4 that doglegs left around native foliage, demanding an accurate tee shot to set up a controlled approach.
-
Hole 14: A breathtaking par-3 that plays over a wooded ravine with Ba Vi Mountains looming in the background.
World-Class Facilities & Amenities
The course offers a dedicated clubhouse equipped with a pro shop, practice facilities, locker rooms, and a restaurant serving both Vietnamese and international cuisine. Caddies and golf carts are available with every round.
Host to Prestigious Golf Events
Mountainview regularly hosts domestic tournaments and corporate outings. Its consistent conditions and spectacular setting make it a favorite among Hanoi-based golf enthusiasts and visiting tour groups.
Scenic Beauty Meets Sustainability
Preserving the harmony between course and landscape, Mountainview is maintained using eco-conscious practices including water conservation and native landscaping.
