Yen Dung Resort & Golf Club: Northern Vietnam’s Highland Golf Retreat

Set against the majestic Nham Bien mountain range, Yen Dung Resort & Golf Club offers a dramatic hillside layout designed by Albanese & Lutzke, blending natural elevation, wind-swept ridges, and panoramic views of northern countryside villages. The Hillside Course (Phase I) features unpredictable terrain, spiral-shaped holes, and turtle-shell greens framed by strategic bunkers and water hazards.

Each tee and green offers a unique perspective, with strong winds adding challenge and excitement to the round. The course is built across 190 hectares and will eventually include a second 18-hole layout (Rock Valley Course). With its artistic villa accommodations, varied shot-making, and immersive scenery, Yen Dung is a standout destination for golfers seeking both technical play and tranquil surroundings.
