BRG Kings Island Golf Resort

Like the name suggests, the Lakeside Course features water hazards on 14 holes, forcing golfers to carefully choose their clubs when playing up to the surrounding lakes. Measuring at 6516 yards the course may not be the longest that golfers will play but has plenty to test even the low handicappers.

The Bermuda grass fairways are naturally in good condition, with the tifdwarf greens immaculate, if not a small target. With undulation and doglegging throughout, the 7th is typical of the courses challenges; the 572 yard par-5 shoots down to a double dogleg, possibly the toughest on the course. If golfers want to play twilight or even evening golf, they can do so on the Lakeside course as it is floodlit.

The younger of the two courses at the resort, Mountainview offers superb views of the surrounding mountains and Vietnamese landscape. The parkland course meanders through forests with most of the fairways lined by a range of trees, ensuring accuracy off the tee. Following a renovation in 2017, the course hits the 7,000 yard make from the back tees and can be quite unforgiving on the longer holes.

Opened in 2018, the Jack Nicklaus II-designed Kings Course is the third venue at Kings Island Golf Resort. It features an iconic 55th hole set against a high waterfall, balancing tactical challenge with stunning natural views. Framed by Nicklaus II as a unique gift to Vietnam, the course reflects the same high design standards that previously earned his work the title of Massachusetts' top public access course.

The clubhouse is typically Vietnamese and is a great base for returning golfers after their round. The restaurant and bar on-site offers panoramic views of the courses and serves a variety of cuisines to accommodate for all visitors. With a pro shop, driving range and practice putting area, golfers are welcome to continue with their day's golf.
