Long Thanh Golf Club – Lake Course
Set against the gently undulating hills of Dong Nai Province, Long Thanh Golf Club’s Lake Course offers a captivating blend of natural beauty, strategic course design, and warm Vietnamese hospitality.

Established in 2005 and designed by the renowned Golf Plan (USA), Long Thanh Golf Club has quickly risen to prominence as one of Vietnam’s premier golf destinations.
