Kings Island Golf Resort: Hanoi’s Premier Lakeside Golf Escape

Set on the tranquil shores of Dong Mo Lake, Kings Island Golf Resort’s Kings Course offers a masterfully designed Nicklaus layout just an hour from Hanoi. Opened in 2018, this 18-hole championship course (plus a bonus 19th hole) blends wooded terrain with expansive water features, delivering a strategic and visually stunning round.

The front nine winds through mature forest with classic Nicklaus shaping and bunkering, while the back nine skirts lakes and wetlands, demanding precision and nerve. The bonus 19th hole — a par 3 to an island green beside a cascading rock waterfall — is one of Vietnam’s most iconic finishing touches. With full resort amenities and a scenic boat transfer across Dong Mo Lake, Kings Island is a must-play for golfers seeking luxury and challenge.
