Long Thanh Golf Club – Hill Course
Perched on a gently rising plateau in Dong Nai Province, just a short drive from Ho Chi Minh City, the Hill Course at Long Thanh Golf Club is one of the most picturesque and challenging courses in Vietnam. This 18-hole championship course offers dramatic elevation changes, panoramic countryside views, and a layout that rewards both power and precision.
Long Thanh Golf Club was established in 2005 and has become a flagship destination for golf enthusiasts in Southern Vietnam. Designed by Golf Plan (USA), the club features both a Hill and Lake course, each with its unique personality. The Hill Course is particularly admired for its bold bunkering, undulating terrain, and scenic beauty, attracting both serious golfers and traveling visitors.
The experience begins with a grand arrival at the hilltop clubhouse, which sets the tone for a round that blends natural surroundings with a high level of playability. Surrounded by mature palms, flowering trees, and panoramic views of the rural landscape, the Hill Course is the perfect mix of challenge, beauty, and leisure.
Course Layout & Design
The Hill Course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout stretching over 6,983 yards (6,386 meters). Its layout features tree-lined fairways, well-placed water hazards, and strategic bunkering. The course plays across rolling hills that introduce uneven lies, sloped fairways, and elevated greens, adding a layer of difficulty that seasoned players appreciate.
From the back tees, the course demands intelligent course management and confident shot execution. From forward tees, it remains approachable for mid-handicap players, making it enjoyable across all skill levels.
Signature holes include:
-
Hole 4 (Par 5): A long uphill dogleg with fairway bunkers, water on the left, and an elevated green.
-
Hole 10 (Par 4): A stunning tee shot from an elevated box with a sweeping view of the countryside and narrow fairway.
-
Hole 18 (Par 5): A thrilling finish with a downhill drive and water guarding the green—risk-reward at its best.
