Laguna Golf Lăng Cô
Faldo’s routing through dunes, boulders and working rice paddies.
Destination imageryTwo Nicklaus Design eighteens in an old quarry, with a 200-room hotel, south of Hanoi.

Legend Valley is the newest of the big golf venues around Hanoi, about 60 km and an hour’s drive south in Kim Bang, in what was Ha Nam province and is now part of Ninh Binh. BRG Group and Nicklaus Design, partners on Legend Hill, built it on a former rock quarry ringed by limestone cliffs. The first course, now called the Rose Course, opened in 2023; the Legend Valley Hotel followed in January 2025, and a second eighteen, the Canyon Course, opened on 16 May 2026. It now works as a one-night golf break rather than a long day trip.

The original eighteen, opened in 2023 and reported then as the South course. Quinn first walked the waterlogged quarry in 2016, so much of the routing was drawn on paper. Water is in play on 13 holes, 2,400 metres of dry-stacked walls use quarry boulders, and tees run from 5,281 to 7,317 yards. The 4th can play from 145 to 280 yards to a semi-Redan green; the 6th is 197 yards from a high tee to a green between a cliff and a five-metre rock wall.
Opened in May 2026, it threads along cliff faces, through deep valleys and past natural lakes, with marked elevation changes and canyon winds. BRG names the 6th, played through a canyon of natural rock cliffs, as the signature hole and the source of the name. Some reports describe finishing work continuing after the opening, so ask about conditions when you book.
Known during construction as BRG Rose Canyon, the site gave Nicklaus Design’s Sean Quinn plenty to work with, and the club quotes him calling it the best course he has ever done.
Choose your tee carefully: with water on 13 holes of the Rose and forced carries such as the 11th, the middle tees make for a far more enjoyable round for most visitors. Stay the night and play both courses, or pair a morning round with the resort’s other activities, which BRG lists as zip-lining, go-karts, fishing, mini-golf, swan-boat pedalos and a hike to the summit of Bat Canh Tien. The BrightPark amusement complex on site keeps families busy.
Legend Valley is about 60 km south of central Hanoi, which the club puts at an hour’s drive, on the Phap Van to Cau Gie expressway towards Phu Ly. From Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) allow around 90 minutes. Phu Ly station on the north–south railway is the nearest stop, a short taxi ride away.
Nearby: 1. Trang An Golf & Country Club (27 km) · 2. Sky Lake Resort & Golf Club (44 km) · 3. Royal Golf Club Ninh Binh (46 km) · 4. Phoenix Golf Resort (54 km) · 5. Long Bien Golf Course (56 km) · 6. BRG Legend Hill Golf Resort (81 km)
The Legend Valley Hotel inside the complex opened in January 2025 with over 200 rooms, a range of restaurants, an outdoor pool, a gym and a children’s play area, and room types from pool-view and valley-view deluxe rooms to suites. It is the practical base. Ninh Binh’s Tam Coc area, about 45 minutes south, is the alternative if you want rice-field scenery and boat trips in the evening.
Combine it with Royal Golf Club and Trang An further south for a three-club Ninh Binh loop, or with Legend Hill for a BRG and Nicklaus pairing on either side of Hanoi. Off the course, Tam Chuc Pagoda on its lake is close by in Kim Bang, and the Bat Canh Tien summit is a hike from the resort.
October to April is the window. Autumn days are warm and dry, the best time for the exposed quarry holes. Winter brings cooler, grey days and some drizzle. Summer is hot and humid, and heavy storms can flood low ground across the delta; on the Rose, lakes were dug to lift the fairways above the flood zone.
