Vinpearl Golf Hai Phong: 36 Holes Across Two Courses on Vu Yen Island
Vinpearl Golf Hai Phong occupies its own island – Vu Yen Island, sitting at the mouth of three rivers where they meet the East Sea – as part of an 872-hectare Vinpearl resort development. Designed by IMG and opened in 2017, it is billed as the largest island golf complex in Vietnam, with 36 holes split across two distinct par-72 courses.
The Lakeside Course is built around a network of interconnected lakes, with water hazards coming into play on 12 of its 18 holes and generally wider, more forgiving fairways. The Marshland Course takes a different approach, routed through semi-natural wetland terrain with narrower fairways, grass bunkers, and smaller greens that put a premium on accuracy over raw distance. Reported yardages vary slightly between sources, with the Lakeside Course playing in the range of 7,290-7,320 yards and the Marshland Course between roughly 7,290 and 7,510 yards from the back tees. Both courses use Platinum Paspalum fairways and tees with TifEagle greens.
Facilities are extensive for a golf-focused resort island: a 300-yard, 16-lane driving range, two putting greens, a dedicated pitching and chipping area, and an on-site golf academy with teaching professionals. The Asian-style clubhouse houses a pro shop, a restaurant seating up to 200 (with event capacity for around 300 and a VIP room for 30), and locker facilities for nearly 300 golfers with a steam room. Night lighting covers 27 of the complex’s 36 holes.
Because every golfer plays with a caddie as standard practice here, and cart availability depends on the specific package booked, it is worth confirming caddie and cart arrangements directly when reserving a tee time – along with which of the two courses is included, since the Lakeside and Marshland courses offer noticeably different playing experiences.
