Heron Lake Golf Course & Resort: Scenic Golf Beside Dam Vac Lake

Located just 45 km northwest of Hanoi, Heron Lake Golf Course & Resort (formerly Dam Vac Golf & Country Club) offers a tranquil parkland layout beside the picturesque Dam Vac Lake. Designed by Pacific Coast Design Ltd, this 18-hole course opened in 2010 and stretches 6,883 yards from the back tees.

The layout features tree-lined fairways, imported Paspalum grass for year-round playability, and water hazards on nearly every hole. Unique “beach bunkers” blend white sand with the lake’s edge, creating dramatic visual contrast and strategic challenge. Heron Lake is ideal for golfers seeking a peaceful round with technical variety and scenic beauty.
