Yen Bai Star Golf Course: A Scenic 27-Hole Escape in Vietnam’s Northern Highlands

Nestled in the tranquil highlands of Yen Bai Province, Yen Bai Star Golf Course offers a championship-caliber experience across three distinct 9-hole loops. Designed by Peter John Waddell, the layout blends lush tea hills, scenic lakes, and mountain vistas into a strategic and visually stunning round. Each loop—A, B, and C—features its own character, allowing golfers to mix and match for varied play.

The course is built on 210 hectares of rolling terrain and features wide fairways, expansive bunkers, and water hazards that challenge both accuracy and course management. With a slope rating of 139 and a course rating of 73.4, it caters to intermediate and advanced players while remaining accessible for casual rounds. The luxurious 3-story clubhouse includes spa facilities, fine dining, and panoramic views of the fairways, making it ideal for weekend escapes and corporate events.
