The Overview

BRG King's Island Golf Resort is an expansive and tranquil 54-hole golf complex situated on the shores of the Dong Mo reservoir, roughly an hour from Hanoi. Access to the island resort is uniquely via a short, scenic speedboat ride, immediately setting a serene tone for the day.

The resort offers three distinct layouts. The Lakeside Course, designed by Robert McFarland, weaves tightly along the water's edge, bringing the lake into play on 14 holes. The Mountainview Course, crafted by Pacific Coast Design, offers a breathtaking backdrop of the Ba Vi Mountains and features wide fairways flanked by mature forests. The newest addition, the King's Course by Jack Nicklaus II, presents a formidable modern championship test, culminating in a spectacular par-3 19th hole featuring an island green.

With its combination of accessibility, world-class design variety, and profound tranquility, King's Island is an essential stop for any Northern Vietnam golf itinerary.

The Curator's Brief

King's Island Golf Resort is a premium championship lakeside / mountain parkland golf course located in Vietnam. Designed by Robert McFarland (Lakeside) / PCD (Mountainview) / Jack Nicklaus II (Kings), this elite facility operates as a strict Par 72 / 72 / 72 layout, stretching to a formidable 6,516 Yards / 7,000 Yards / 7,310 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 King's Island Golf Resort 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 lakeside / mountain parkland challenges. By booking through the AGS Local Guardian network, players bypass public booking queues and experience an uncompromising, fully managed luxury golf experience.
