Thanh Lanh Valley
Golf & Resort
"The 'Switzerland of Vietnam' — the lake, the peaks, the cool air, and the silence."
The Overview
Thanh Lanh Valley Golf & Resort has earned the affectionate nickname "the Switzerland of Vietnam" — a title that captures the serene, alpine character of its stunning highland setting in Vinh Phuc Province. A massive natural lake sits at the heart of the resort, with towering forest-clad peaks rising on all sides and cool mountain breezes providing welcome relief from the Vietnamese heat.
The golf course works sympathetically with the natural landscape, using the lake as both a visual centrepiece and a strategic water feature on multiple holes. The routing balances short, risk-reward par fours with longer, more measured challenges, providing a thoroughly enjoyable experience for a wide range of handicaps.
Thanh Lanh Valley is one of the North's great weekend destinations for the visiting discerning golfer — close enough to Hanoi for a comfortable day trip, but immersive enough in its mountain and lakeside setting to feel entirely worlds away from the city.

The Curator's Brief
Thanh Lanh Valley Golf & Resort is a premium championship mountain valley, vast lake golf course located in Vietnam. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, this elite facility operates as a strict Par 72 layout, stretching to a formidable over 7,000 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 Thanh Lanh Valley 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 mountain valley, vast lake challenges. By booking through the AGS Local Guardian network, players bypass public booking queues and experience an uncompromising, fully managed luxury golf experience.
