Ninh BinhRoyal Golf Club (Hoang Gia)
Royal Golf Club is located in stunning countryside surrounded by rock mountains with fascinating formations, considered one of the most beautiful golf courses in Vietnam. Situated in Ninh Binh Province about 100 kilometers south of Hanoi, the facility was established in 2010 and offers a unique golfing experience among dramatic limestone karsts. Developed by P&Z Development PTE and Golf Corp with Jack Nicklaus II, the resort features two 18-hole courses covering 670 hectares: the King Course and Queen Course. The King Course is longer and more demanding with numerous water hazards, bunkers, and undulating greens. The Queen Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and professionally supervised by Flagstick with Donald Page, features a unique landscape of fairways interspersed between limestone outcrops. The courses use premium Zeon Zoysia grass for fairways and Primo Zoysia for greens, constructed using modern techniques. The setting near Bai Dinh Pagoda, Trang An scenic complex, and Cuc Phuong National Park makes Royal Golf an ideal addition to a cultural tour of Ninh Binh.

Trang An Golf & Country Club is a two-course resort near the Tràng An heritage landscape in Ninh Bình Province, roughly 30 kilometres from Ninh Bình city and about 100 kilometres from Hanoi. Its centrepiece is the Champion Course, an 18-hole, par-72 layout of around 7,200 yards on elevated terrain, shaped by two lakes, five streams and 98 bunkers. Alongside it sits the Pine Course, an 18-hole all-par-3 layout — the first and only course of its kind in Vietnam — often compared in the resort's own marketing to Augusta National's par-3 course. Beyond golf, the resort adds bungalows and pool villas, a restaurant, and activities such as kayaking, ziplining and farm experiences, making it a destination for travellers who want more than a round of golf.
