Royal Long An
Golf & Country Club
"Sir Nick Faldo's most environmentally considered design — golf in harmony with the land."
The Overview
Royal Long An Golf & Country Club represents a different philosophy in Sir Nick Faldo's design portfolio — one centred on environmental integration and sustainability. Located in Long An Province, the course was designed to work with the existing wetland and agricultural landscape rather than imposing a manufactured golf environment onto it.
The result is a layout of genuine natural beauty, where rice paddies, wetlands, and mature vegetation frame the holes throughout the round. The course design rewards strategic thinking and precise iron play, with Faldo's signature emphasis on properly positioned approach shots to reach short-sided pin positions.
An excellent complement to the more dramatic southern Vietnam courses, Royal Long An appeals to golfers who appreciate refined design over visual spectacle, and who want to experience a genuinely different style of championship golf just south of Ho Chi Minh City.
