Description
Royal Golf Club Ninh Binh (Yen Thang Golf)
Located in the heart of Ninh Binh Province, surrounded by limestone karsts, lakes, and lush countryside, Royal Golf Club (also known as Yen Thang Golf) is one of Vietnam’s largest and most expansive golf properties. With 54 holes spread across three distinct 18-hole courses—King, Queen, and Prince—the club offers variety, beauty, and a full-scale resort experience just 2 hours south of Hanoi.
Designed by Peter Rousseau, the course is part of a broader tourism complex that includes villas, entertainment, and eco-tourism, making it a top destination for golf holidays in northern Vietnam.
Course Layout & Design
Each of the three courses offers its own character:
-
King Course is the original layout, with lakes, flat terrain, and wide fairways—great for players of all levels.
-
Queen Course provides a more technical challenge, with narrower fairways, subtle elevation, and strategic bunkering.
-
Prince Course is the newest and most visually striking, with dramatic water features and views of the surrounding mountains.
The entire property spans hundreds of hectares, offering open fairways, natural stone formations, and a sense of scale rarely seen in Vietnam. From the back tees, each course plays to championship length, while multiple tee boxes allow for flexible play.
Signature Holes Include:
-
Prince – Hole 3 (Par 4): A challenging hole that hugs a large lake with a green framed by mountains in the background.
-
Queen – Hole 12 (Par 3): A short but demanding par 3 with bunkers guarding the front and wind funneling through a valley.
-
King – Hole 18 (Par 5): A long closer with wide landing zones, leading to a green perched next to the clubhouse.

April 25, 2025 at 5:15 pmRoyal Golf Club offers a scale and setting that few courses in Vietnam can match. With 54 holes across three courses—King, Queen, and Prince—it provides variety for golfers of all levels and enough space to feel like you have the course to yourself. Each layout offers something different: from the open, accessible King Course to the more technical Queen and the striking, view-laden Prince Course.
We especially enjoyed how the courses integrate seamlessly into the surrounding countryside. Natural lakes, limestone peaks, and quiet forest edges create a peaceful playing environment with moments of grandeur. It’s a relaxed setting that doesn’t sacrifice challenge—bunkering is well-placed, greens are large and undulating, and the occasional breeze keeps you thinking on every shot.
Whether you’re on a solo escape, a golf group retreat, or a multi-day holiday, Royal Golf Club has the facilities and diversity to keep every visit fresh. Add to that comfortable on-site lodging and the tranquility of rural Ninh Binh, and you’ve got one of the best value golf resorts in the north.
