Phoenix Golf Resort opened in 2006, according to Golfasian (Where2Golf says 2007), in Lam Son commune, Luong Son, about 45 km south-west of Hanoi in what was Hoa Binh province. It is one of the largest golf complexes in northern Vietnam, with 54 holes laid out as three 18-hole courses, usually listed as Phoenix, Dragon and Champion. Its draw is the setting: limestone karsts, the scenery that VietGreen likens to Ha Long Bay on land, rise behind many of the holes.
Phoenix Golf Resort green fees and tee times.
Visitors are welcome on weekdays and weekends, and Where2Golf says advance booking is required. The resort has no working English booking site, so most foreign golfers book through a Vietnam golf operator such as Golfasian, which confirms tee times and can add caddies and transfers, or through KKday, where the green fee is also sold as a prepaid package. Golfasian allows groups of up to five. Rates vary by season and day of the week and are not published online. Where2Golf lists the club’s office and pro shop on +84 218 628 8000.
The round, in perspective.
Golfasian, which lists the course it sells as the Reborn Course at 7,281 yards and par 72, singles out the front nine as the most memorable and the closing hole as a demanding par four with a deep ravine protecting the approach. VietGreen gives one eighteen at 6,901 yards and par 71 from the gold tees, with Bermuda grass on fairways and greens. Design credits vary: Where2Golf names Ron Fream of Golfplan for Phoenix, Songho Golf Design for Champion, and Kentaro Sato with Dae-bong Lee for Dragon, while Golfasian credits Sato Kentaro for the course it sells. Because names have changed over the years, ask your booking agent which eighteen you are being sent out on. A Golfasian reviewer found it very challenging from the blue tees.

Make the trip work.
Go early: tee off at first light and you finish before the worst of the heat, with time to drive back to Hanoi for the afternoon. One Golfasian reviewer in 2026 praised the lunch included in their package, so ask whether yours does. A range, putting green and chipping area are on site. VietGreen is blunt that the large European-style clubhouse suffers from poor upkeep and service, and suggests saving the evening for Hanoi.
Allow about an hour from central Hanoi on the road west towards Hoa Binh, longer in the evening rush; Golfasian quotes up to an hour and a half. From Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) it is roughly 90 minutes or more. A private car and driver for the day is the norm, and most operators bundle one with the round.
Where2Golf lists a 190-room condo hotel on site with a restaurant and spa, and Golfasian adds a pool, sauna and massage, but most visitors treat Phoenix as a day trip from Hanoi. If you want a night in the countryside, the Mai Chau valley, with stilt-house homestays among rice fields, is about two hours further west and makes a good add-on.
Make a trip of it.
Sky Lake is the closest neighbour, about 30 to 40 minutes east in Chuong My, and the two pair well over consecutive days. Long Bien works for an evening round once you are back in the city. Off the course, the Hoa Binh hydropower lake and the White Thai villages of Mai Chau are the obvious non-golf trips west.
Find your season.
October and November bring warm, dry weather and clear views of the karsts. Winter is cooler and often hazy, with fine drizzle in February and March that softens the ground. From May to September the valley is hot and humid and storms are frequent; play at dawn if you go then.
Fifty-four holes as three 18-hole courses, usually called Phoenix, Dragon and Champion. Golfasian sells the course it lists as the Reborn Course, so check which eighteen you are booked on.
