(Coastal Links Golf with Dune Drama – Wind-Swept Fairways & Ocean Views)

FLC Quang Binh – Championship Links Golf on Vietnam’s Central Coast

Set along a pristine six-kilometer stretch of white sand coastline near Dong Hoi, the Forest Dunes Course at FLC Quang Binh Beach & Golf Resort delivers a bold and visually striking links-style experience. Designed by Brian Curley, this 18-hole layout is the first of ten planned courses in the region, crafted to rival the famed Mission Hills complex in Hainan.

The course features dramatic elevation changes up to 40 meters, expansive fairways, and rugged waste areas framed by casuarina pines and native marsh grasses. With only four formal bunkers, the sandy terrain itself becomes a strategic element, demanding creativity and precision. Generous greens with undulations and backstops evoke the spirit of classic Scottish links, while ever-present coastal winds add complexity to every shot.
