Tam Dao Golf Resort
Add: Ho Son, Tam Dao, Vinh Phuc
Holes/Par/Yardage: 18 holes par 72 (7169 yards)
(well-designed scenic mountain layout)
The Tam Dao Golf Resort is high in the Tam Dao Mountains, making for year-round cooler temperatures. The weather gives Vietnam golfers the feeling of playing in the Northeast USA rather than tropical Asia.
The Tam Dao golf course opened in 2007 and was designed to be the best golf course in Vietnam. Golf course design company IMG used natural land contours, local flora, and fauna to create a visual treat for golfers. Massive mountains in the backdrop frame each hole and give the impression of one being in the Alps or Adirondacks. The golf course plays through a series of lakes and streams, making it one of the most scenic Hanoi golf courses. Sea Isle Paspalum is used on the tee boxes and fairways, while Sea Isle 2000 Paspalum greens ensure smooth and quick putting surfaces. Various tee boxes cater to players of all levels, and from the back tees, experienced amateurs and professional golfers will be required to use every club in the bag to score well.
The key to scoring well at Tam Dao is the approach shots, many of which play to elevated and well-guarded greens. The par-5 first hole is unique because it requires golfers to lay up short of a water hazard some 200 yards away, or for long hitters, go for the green in two.
However, beware of the giant tree front to the left of the green, as shots with short distance tend to get caught in the top branches quickly. Equally challenging is the second hole on the back nine. The short par-4, only 353 yards, plays to an elevated island green with closely mown fringe flanked by water on all sides. The hazard demands an accurate second shot to avoid a watery penalty.
Other memorable golf hols include the dogleg par-5 tenth and the beautiful uphill par-3 second hole. Once again, both require accurate shots into the green to avoid tricky surrounding areas and hazards near each green.
Initially, when opened, excellent golf course maintenance consisting of double-cut fairways, white sand bunkers, and close-cut greens and fringes made playing Tam Dao a real treat. Nowadays, course conditions have seen better days, and maintenance is haphazard. The clubhouse is rundown and in need of renovations. Call ahead or check with a local golf tour operator to ensure the situation.
When conditions are right, the temperate weather, easy highway access, and nearby resort town make a beautiful day out golfing in Hanoi.
