FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club opened for play in August 2017. Twenty minutes from Ha Long City and three hours from Hanoi, the 18-hole championship Schmidt-Curley designed layout offers stunning scenic ocean views over the famous UNESCO world heritage site. The golf course sits above the old town of Ha Long Bay and overlooks the spectacular limestone karst-riddled bay.  The dramatic terrain offers a drastic departure from the sandy dunes of coastal Vietnamese golf sites. Several greens have a stunning backdrop of Ha Long Bay, viewed from high above, framed by rock outcrops and mature native vegetation, punctuated with pine trees. Above a series of ridges, the course features dramatic, sweeping views and substantial elevation changes. FLC Ha Long Bay Golf Club is worth a visit if nothing else for the magnificent views of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.The FLC clubhouse is enormous at over 2,000 square meters and includes several restaurants and bars, plush locker rooms, pro shop and vast open spaces for relaxing. Other facilities include a driving range, pitch and putt practice areas, and three on-course kiosks.
