Faldo’s routing through dunes, boulders and working rice paddies.
Destination imageryTwo greens on every hole, ten minutes from Noi Bai airport in the Soc Son hills.

Legend Hill is the easiest serious course to fit around a flight into Hanoi. It lies in the Soc Son foothills, which the club puts at ten minutes from Noi Bai International Airport and 30 minutes from the city centre, near the Soc Temple. BRG Group built it, and the club describes it as the first course in Vietnam designed by Nicklaus Design. Its quirk is the twin-green concept: 36 greens on 18 holes, so the same hole can play quite differently from one day to the next.
Visitors book directly with the club by email at booking@legendhillcountryclub.com or by phone on +84 39 294 2288. Unusually for the north, the club publishes its rates. Guests pay ₫3,690,000 for 18 holes on weekdays and ₫5,290,000 at weekends and on holidays, including caddie and a shared cart; 9, 27 and 36-hole prices are also listed. Electric carts are compulsory for all guests. Golfasian caps groups at four, and it and other Vietnam golf operators also book confirmed tee times, often combined with a transfer, which helps when you are coming straight from a flight.

The course opened in 2015 and plays to par 72 and about 7,068 yards, according to Golfasian. It occupies 80 hectares of a 215-hectare estate on rolling, wooded hillside, and the clubhouse sits on a rise looking back over the holes. The club labels the two sets of greens the Legends and Masters courses. On the 570-yard par-five closing hole, for example, its notes describe the Legends green as more open and visible and the Masters green as elevated and framed by bunkers, demanding one last precise approach. The day’s set-up therefore changes the angles, the bunkers in play and the length of many holes. Golfasian reviewers single out the twin-green idea and a handful of genuinely tough holes.
The location makes it ideal for a first or last day: land in the morning, play in the afternoon, or play an early round before an evening flight with clubs packed into the car. Book a driver who will wait. Golfasian reviewers rate the range and clubhouse, which has locker rooms, a restaurant and a small pro shop, but one found food and drink on the course limited, so carry water.
Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) is about ten minutes away by road, the club says. Central Hanoi is around 30 minutes outside rush hour via the Nhat Tan Bridge expressway. The club’s address is Cong Hoa hamlet in Soc Son commune, near the Soc Temple historic site.

No hotel sits on the property. The club’s own website links to bookings at the InterContinental Hanoi Westlake, about 30 minutes away and convenient for both the course and the city. Airport hotels around Noi Bai suit a single overnight between flights.
Dai Lai, roughly 30 minutes to the west, makes a natural second round on the airport side of the city. Long Bien covers an evening round in town. Off the course, the Soc Temple honours Thanh Giong, one of the Four Immortals of Vietnamese folk belief, and its festival in the first lunar month draws large crowds. West Lake and the Tran Quoc Pagoda are on the way back into Hanoi.
Aim for October to April. The autumn months are the pick, with dry air and settled weather. Midwinter brings cooler, overcast days and occasional drizzle, still fine for golf in a light layer. From May the hillside gets hot and humid, and summer thunderstorms often stop play in the afternoon.
Explore golf by monthEach of the 18 holes has two greens, 36 in all, which the club labels the Legends and Masters sets. Switching between them changes approach angles, bunkers in play and hole lengths. It was Nicklaus Design’s first layout in Vietnam, according to the club.
About ten minutes by road, according to the club, and around 30 minutes from central Hanoi. That makes it the most practical full-size course for a round on the day you arrive or leave.
The club’s published guest rate for 18 holes is ₫3,690,000 on weekdays and ₫5,290,000 at weekends and on holidays, with caddie, a shared electric cart and taxes included. Members pay much less, so check you are quoted the guest rate.
