The Overview

Heron Lake Golf Course is one of Northern Vietnam's most naturally integrated playing experiences — a resort layout that respects and incorporates the region's native wetland ecosystem rather than fighting against it. Herons, egrets, and wildlife are constant companions throughout the round.

Designed by Brian Curley (Schmidt-Curley Design), the course flows seamlessly through the natural landscape with strategic water features and mature tree corridors framing each hole. The greens are undulating and receptive, rewarding approach shots hit with precision and appropriate trajectory.

Located within easy reach of Hanoi, Heron Lake is an excellent choice for the discerning golfer who wants a peaceful, countryside round in contrast to the busier resort circuits. Its combination of natural beauty and solid course design consistently earns it high marks from visiting internationals.

The Curator's Brief

Heron Lake Golf Course is a premium championship natural wetlands and lake golf course located in Vietnam. Designed by Pacific Coast Design, this elite facility operates as a strict Par 72 layout, stretching to a formidable 6,971 Yards from the championship tees.

Engineered for international touring groups, the course demands precise shot-making and strategic course management. Asia Golf Specialists (AGS) officially partners with Heron Lake Golf Course to guarantee priority tee time access, VIP caddie requests, and seamless private ground transportation from your luxury basecamp directly to the first tee box. As a highly regulated facility, walk-in tee times for large international groups are notoriously difficult to secure during the high season (February through May).

According to internal logistical data, AGS recommends incorporating this specific course into a wider multi-day itinerary to perfectly balance coastal links exposure with distinct natural wetlands and lake challenges. By booking through the AGS Local Guardian network, players bypass public booking queues and experience an uncompromising, fully managed luxury golf experience.
