Royal Golf Course Ninh Binh – Championship Golf in Vietnam’s Scenic North

Set amid the iconic limestone karsts and tranquil waters of Yen Thang Lake, Royal Golf Course offers a serene yet challenging golf experience in the heart of northern Vietnam. Designed by Peter Rousseau and Jack Nicklaus II, this 27-hole complex features three distinct courses—King, Queen, and Prince—each tailored to different playing styles and skill levels.

The King Course is the most demanding, with dramatic elevation changes, strategic bunkering, and water hazards that test precision and strategy. The Queen Course offers a more relaxed round with wide fairways and rolling greens, while the Prince Course provides a balanced mix of challenge and leisure. Surrounded by natural beauty and cultural landmarks, Royal Golf delivers a memorable escape for golfers seeking both performance and peace.
